I would recommend it for tech-savvy people right now. It's a bit klunky
in the interface, but the phone functions (dial, receive, cid) work
great and the sound is clear in both directions. the setup through the
phone interface is a little repetitive and slow (albeit probably great
for avid thumb-typers used to cellphones these days), and the web
interface didn't have enough functions to allow complete setup.
To give a feel for what I mean by 'klunky', it's just poor programming
in the firmware. Change the ringer melody, volume, or style (ring or
vibrate) and expect the phone to reboot all the way to use the new
settings. I don't think there are actually _any_ settings you can
change on the phone that _don't_ reboot it completely before taking effect.
Oh yeah, this is the V2 model, came with (what, globug? gloworm?
glopoint?) some proprietary firmware installed that wouldn't allow you
to use your own sip server. I went to the manufacturer's web site,
zyxel.com, and had no problems finding a firmware that alleviated the
propriety. I believe it was the wj0011 that Rod mentions below; they
seem to have a wv0001 now. Not sure if Rod had a V2 or the original model.

An update on this...
I was wrong. The wireless problem was an altogether different issue. the
wj0011
firmware finally made my phone useable, after 6 months of problems.

floating around (I found it in a German forum), KEEP AWAY.
It completely trashed the wireless networking in my phone.
