As one of those who's praised the GXP2000, I feel I should just add that it's all relative *to the price point*. The GXP2000 is probably the best phone I can get hold of at that price point (£70 or so) here in the UK. The 9133i is £80 + PoE injector (£14), which is quite a big increase in budget on 20 or 30 phones. > Is there any unbiased comparison of various phones and > features anywhere. As the discussion about the GXP2000 showed, it's not really features that's important - it's more a question of reliable firmware, build quality, etc. If you're after one or two nice office phones, I don't think you can beat getting 2nd hand Cisco 7960s off ebay, putting the latest SCCP firmware on them and using them with chan_sccp. I've done that at 3 locations where I spend lots of time, and I really like the feel of the 7960. I can't justify the price of them new, but from auction, the prices are far more reasonable (going rate seems to be about £110 in the UK). Regards, Chris -- C.M. Bagnall, Director, Minotaur I.T.
