Hello, I am looking at the Polycom phones. The ip600 has a very nice screen, is that the only real advantage over the ip500 and ip300.. Is it worth the extra dollars?

I have 600s. They have a few advantages; mini-browser more memory for internal contact lists 6 lines vs 3 for 500 better screen Great full duplex speaker phone (no so on 300) I've read that the 600 having more memory will allow it to continue to take new software whereas the 500 and 300 have been replaced by new models with greater memory. I guess that implies that there will soon come a time when there will be software that cannot be loaded to the 500 or 300.

[Asterisk-Users] Best VoIP provider

First if you are using asterisk that limits your choices, not all appreciate it when you connect something they didnt give you. As for best that depends, sometimes one is better simply because network wise its closer to you, other times its because of the level of tech support, generally its because of call quality and percentage of dropped calls. You mentioned low costs, but that depends on how you will use it. For inbound only? outbound to which countries? small minute usage or high volume calling? It all depends on how you plan on using it. You can also mix and match. For inbound only with a washington state US number ipkall.com is good and free (they forward through freeworlddialup.com also free. For outbound you can use nuphone.com or something like that that only does outbound. That way your costs are only when you actually place a call as opposed to whether or not you do. It depends highly on how you would use it. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Actually, your logic is flawed... It would be correct id the images contained in the composite file were static, but they are not... sip.ld v1.4.1 (approx. 7.7 meg) contains 5 images: IP300 , IP500, IP600, IP4000 and one unknown image (probably for the short lived IP100/IP400 customized model). sip.ld v1.5.2 (approx. 10.3 meg) contains 7 images: IP300, IP301, IP500, IP501, IP600, IP4000 and one unknown image. The IP300 and IP500 images for v1.5.2 are actually approximately 50K SMALLER than the corresponding image from v1.4.1. (Image sizes are approximately 1.2meg for each unit) The IP301 and IP501 images for v1.5.2 are approximaely 290K larger than the images for the IP300 and IP500. The fact that there are seperate images for the new IPX01 models may indicate that there are other subtle differences than just the size of the flash memory and internal memory. It also indicated that there is a significant amount of space left in the 2meg flash of the IP300/IP500 (even after accounting for the space required for the bootrom at approximately 380K) for future enhancements. Also, looking at the IP600... it has an image size of almost exactly 2 megs in both versions of the firmware... which means that the XML browser functions will likely never be available for the IP500. regards, Derek ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kristian Kielhofner" <kris@krisk.org> To: "Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion" <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 1:27 AM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom IP600 - Worth the extra $$> dbruce wrote: > > The size of the sip.ld file is NOT an indication of the size of thefirmware> > for a particular model. > > Yes, but it is an indication of the overall size of the firmware image, > regardless of the model, and that is what I was talking about. > > > The sip.ld file is a coposite file that encapsulates individual firmwarefor> > the different models.
