We used the SPA-94x fro desktop phones and
the speaker phones on them a pretty good. We have a Snom 360 and the speaker
phone is lousy. I have just updated the firmware to the latest version and it
seems to be a better. It is not as good as the SPA as the Snom has background hiss
on speakerphone. We have just started using the Polycom 601
for our reception phones. I am at this minute trying to figure out how to
provision it. From:
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:
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 Holmes Atacomm / Ataractic Corporation www.atacomm.com V: 1-877-700-VOIP Looking for voice over IP products? Visit our VoIP store at http://voipstore.atacomm.com/ On Nov 1, 2006, at 8:35 AM, Tom Vile wrote: I love the
