Not good if voice quality is a requirement. Talking on the handset sounds to the caller and callee like you're on one of those really old speakerphones that clips the beginning of each phrase after a pause. There's a ramp-down of white-noise at the end of each phrase. The speakerphone is totally useless as the user is completely inaudable unless yelling with their face directly in front of the unit. I've fiddled with a batch of 7 of them, with little useful support from Sipura by-the-way, for a few months and finally gave up last week. I ordered a batch of Polycom IP501 units to replace them. I should also mention that Sipura's support systems appear to have recently changed. I used to get a real person with a useful response or valid request for more info within a day, usually within a few hours. I just had a SPA-3000 fail with a hardware problem and spent over a week going back and forth with a tech support person who was obviously just cutting and pasting responses from a crib sheet. He knew almost nothing about the product and didn't understand wat I was writing. Tech support has gone from good to intolerable IMHO. Their SIP implementations seem fine. I've not had any trouble getting them to work with Asterisk. I like their ATAs and the SPA-3000 is awesome IMHO. Their 841 is a unmentinable corpse-strewn horror. Their support is going to the dogs with their recent acquisition by Linksys/Cisco.
