Hi all, I have to install 25 IP Phone in some building. I want just basic IP Phones like: Cisco-Linksys SPA922 u$s 146 Grandstream GXP-2000 u$s 105 Snom 300 u$s 119 The most valuables parameters for me are (in importance order from high to low): - Stability (device don't hang in any way) - Voice quality using G729 - Provisioning So what device do you suggest according I said above? Is there another device which deserves attention? Thanks very much in advance, Sebastian ---------------------------------------------------- Sebastian Milioto ITC Cid Campeadro 440 Rio Tercero, Cordoba, Argentina msn: sebamilioto at hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Don't use Grandstream if you want quality and stability. Also check out the Cisco SPA504G. They are the newer versions of the SPA922, support multiple lines and are fairly cheap too.

Lack of features on the 7940's is frustrating, and makes me hesitant to try other Cisco phones, even if the SPA504G is newer. --Brent

Now, it's true to say that Grandstream phones haven't been without their probems in the past, but the current generation are really nice. The GXP2000 has been about for a long time too and I've not had any issues with them in the past 18 months or so. They've undergone a few hardware revisions too. I statically provision all my phones and use a perl utility called gsutil. They can be provisioned from a tftp server though, but I've never done this. They sound fine, and have plenty of features that are easy to use - call transfer - big backlit display (now variable contrast and brigtness) 7 easy to use speed dial/BLF buttons, etc. If not using PoE I'd suggest getting a few extra PSUs though - that's one area I have had a few issues with - but maybe it's just been the UK ones.

My experience has been it's not a case of 'if' the PSU will fail, but 'when'. In a past (less intelligent) life, I deployed a fair number of the GXP2020s and GXP2000s. There are not very many of them left that haven't completely died(the phone itself), and of those left, they've all had power supplies replaced. I cannot speak for the quality of the later devices from Grandstream. After being burned, it's a bit hard to look at them again when there are so many other quality devices available (think Polycom, Aastra, etc). --Tim
