Battery life is very short. Maximum volume of the headpiece is very very low, e.g. you can't hear anything while talking on the street or in a noisy environment like a bar, etc. Menu is not user friendly, sip and network settings are too far from each other. Doesn't support wifi networks that use 802.1x billing systems. Resume: OK phone for home / small office use, but you'll always want to get a better one.

Ditto on the volume issue, it's EXTREMELY low, but the latest firmware does allow login to web-portal protected billed wifi systems. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Vahan Yerkanian Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 12:03 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Info about F1000G Tomislav Par?ina wrote:> Does anybody use UTStarcom F1000G Wi-FI VoIP phone? > http://www.utstar.com/Solutions/Handsets/WiFi/ > > I'm planning to buy one and I need to know did you have any problems with phone.

Hello Tomislav, I borrowed F1000 from my friend for testing. I am not sure if that is different from F1000G, but I am experiencing the following issues: 1. As a user, it is not easy to get a firmware update as I need to have a service contract. 2. Even with the latest firmware I got from sipgate.de (version 3.80st), I can only have WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption, while I prefer AES. 3. The voice quality is sometimes really bad when using codecs with compression (G729 and G726). No problem with G.711. 4. The battery does not last long, just around 22 hours. I don't have any other issues a part from those. Cheers, Anto ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tomislav Par?ina" <tparcina@lama.hr> To: "Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion" <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 8:45 AM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Info about F1000G Does anybody use UTStarcom F1000G Wi-FI VoIP phone? http://www.utstar.com/Solutions/Handsets/WiFi/ I'm planning to buy one and I need to know did you have any problems with phone.
