I can confirm that the issue with the display is usually a hardware problem, not firmware. If the phone has this issue, it may be related to the other issues (locking up, etc.). I suggest you return the phones that have this problem for warrantee exchange.
As far as the firmware goes, the production versions generally have a few minor issues but are pretty sound overall (relative to other vendors). -Mike Michael Crown Managing Partner www.thevoipconnection.com 321.989.6728 ext. 611 sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Dr. Michael J.
