Every once in a while I read messages about people having problems with certain models of SIP phones, some of them being well known models. I'm interested in purchasing new SIP phones for my office and wanted to know which brand/model is most stable with Asterisk, which allows most office features. These features should include: multiple-line appearances (at least 3), call conference, blind and non-blind transfer, memory buttons or speed dials, voice message light indicator, speaker phone, mute, redial, caller-id display. Anything on top of these features is a plus but not really a requirement. Any suggestions? Thanks, Daniel
The Sipura SPA-841 has everything except memory buttons but has a directory and speeddials so I don't think that's so important. Cheap and well made, although if the speaker phone is very important, get Polycoms, it's the business they are best in.

They are rock solid, have great speakerphones, all of the features you list and more... Work just great with Asterisk. My clients love them, and at $185 / phone it is hard to beat. -- Vice President of N2Net, a New Age Consulting Service, Inc. Company http://www.n2net.net Where everything clicks into place!
