I second Brian's comments. After setting up 20 GS phones using their somewhat odd web interface, I would really appreciate a more rational provisioning system for small to medium installations. I would add the following:
cfgEveryone.txt :Generic setup for all phones. Read first - and overridden by
cfgMACADDRESS.txt :the specific setup items for each phone.
Note, that there already seems to be a config file format (undocumented). If this is true, GS should at least publish the format and let the OS community have a go at a configurator.
Also, the daylight savings option will ultimately need to be fixed to include date recognition. The current setup requires that you log into every phone twice each year to turn the option on/off. For installations with a large number of phones, this is going to be a real headache.
And, the speakerphone button needs to be fixed. It works now almost perfectly. The only glitch is when you are on the speakerphone and want to switch back to the handset. If the handset is on the cradle, picking it up will transfer the call to the headset from the speakerphone. However, if you have the handset off hook already and press the speakerphone button expecting to transfer back to the handset, you are disconnected. The documentation states that it is a toggle. It isn't. The workaround is to press the on-hook button momentarily and you are switched back to the handset. Nevertheless, the speakerphone button should not hang up the line unless the receiver is already on hook.
Finally, the documentation for IP QOS, VLAN Tag and Dialplan need to be expanded/included.

John, I want the tftp configs done like cfgMACADDRESS.txt or compile them into a binary form like the ATA's use. And stop trying to rip us for the GAPS system. WHAT A RIP. It makes cisco so worth the extra cash!
Config refresh similar to the ATA.. refresh config every x seconds.

Hi List,
I had a wonderful meeting with GS's President last week and he is very interested in feedback on what top features, functions, bugs the community would like to see in upcoming firmware.
Please keep in mind that adding new features take time to develop, test and such.
So please rate your ideas on a scale of 1-10
1 = Nice to have some day
10 = Got to have it right now
Things like ring tones and fixing call waiting are already on the list. :)
Lets also keep the replys away from gripes and complaints and more towards constructive comments.
I'll be taking the results and sending GS a summary.
