Do the speakerphone’s work well on
Snom 320’s? I have a Linksys 841 and could never get the
speakerphone working well. -CP From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jessee J Holmes Writing this as a user of VoIP and not a reseller, (meaning off the
record), we really love the Snom phones here as well, I wish the Snom 300's had
a bit more functionality (like the Grandstream), and the Snom 320's and 360's
were a little less confusing with their buttons (aka too many buttons on the
keypad for some non-tehcy end users). But they have terrific functionality and great audio quality in most
office environments, and are very easy to set up and install. Everyone seems to
really love them. The Cisco phones are nice as well, but IF you decide to go with Cisco,
READ what you are buying and what you are getting before just blindly buying it
(in fact, do this anyways, it's common sense to do this before buying any
product, anywhere). Cisco products normally don't come with half of the items
you need, and unfortunately most resellers (and Cisco) don't make this too
easy to read and understand. DO NOT buy refurbished Cisco if you want
support, especially since there has been some bogus Cisco voice equipment
shipping lately from some of the certified Cisco resellers/distributors.
Network World had an article on this recently: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2006/102306counterfeit.html Cisco may have a great look to their phones and have the design very
well thought out (not to mention the big Cisco name - which is good enough for
some), but they are normally harder to install and configure and are VERY
proprietary. If you buy Cisco, Cisco wants you to ONLY buy Cisco (for support
and marketing reasons). Snom 320's are a great choice just because these phones mainly support
everything the Snom 360's support (i.e. sidecars) Only main differences between
these two models is that the Snom 360 has the larger LCD screen as well as
newly added XML support. We have about 50 stations here, some management, some support, some
sales and have pretty much decided as a company to completely use Snom phones
for all of our employees. Keep in mind, each phone out there will have their specific pro's and
con's, as well as quarks ... seems there is no real "perfect
phone" out there yet. But Snom in my mind, is pretty dang close. This all of course is just personal opinion from past experience. Jessee
