I read all the stories and did the homework, but one client wanted
under 100/phone. I explained the issues and we went ahead. I have had
not one problem with 18 units purchased from VOIPsupply.
They sound very good via handset. Can't comment on the speaker phone
quality. For the money, they are good phones in my opinion.

Well, these are encouraging words :)
You're basically telling me that I should tell my client to buy
other
phones. I agree that you cannot compare these phones with Cisco or
Polycom. After all, like you said, what do you expect for under $90.
However, the fact is that my client just recently invested in these
and it will be hard, if not impossible, for me to tell my client to
swap them for Polycoms or something else at a much higher cost.
I have heard complaints from my client about the speakerphone and
they are now, I guess, getting used to picking up the handset :). I
have heard any echo problems so far. What bothers me the most is
that
the phone stops working often (multiple times per day). By this I
mean that my client won't be able to dial anything successfully. As
soon as 3 or 4 digits are entered, they get a fast busy. To solve
it,
they need to reboot it. It sounds as if these phones were running
Windows instead of Linux :)
Anyway, what firmware did you use that solved so many of your
problems?
I've only had bad experiences with these phones and steer clear of
them.
In the same price range you can now get the Thomson ST-2030 or
Polycom
430 for a much, much better user experience.
Where do you purchase the Thomson or Polycoms for a comparable
price as
the GXP2000? I'd like to buy an ST2030 or 430 for under EUR 90
myself too!
