Is there a way to reduce the gain on the handset mic?

So far, pretty much every firmware upgrade has been an improvement in
one way or another. They're running 1.1.0.13 <http://1.1.0.13> now
which seems to be fairly stable. They still get brief moments of echo,
but usually only when the handset volume is up pretty high. I think
it's a hardware problem where the handset microphone is actually picking
up the handset speaker audio when it gets real loud.
If you do get these phones, I would make it very clear to your customers
that this is a very inexpensive phone, aka CHEAP. So don't be surprised
if you have some problems every once in a while. But they do have some
great features that you only find in more expensive phones and some
features even the big boys don't have. They especially work well
remotely, extremely nat friendly... which I cannot say for the Cisco's
or Polycom's.

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.
