Doug, Just a note on this subject: I have a Snom 320 at home, and it's got a nice orange MWI that's pretty visible (especially if the apartment is dark). At the office I have a Polycom 501. It's got a great red light right at the top of the phone in the middle. It's very visible unless the phone isn't facing you at all.

Well I have a Grandstream 200 in a home application and so far I have been happy with it. My biggest complaint is that 99% of these IP phones are black!! One of the reasons I bought the 200 was because it has a bright red, see across the room, message waiting indicator. I have not seen that spec'ed on other phones. That doe not meant they don't have it, it is just not spec'd. I imagine the multiline LCD's have it on the screen, but you would not see that unless you specifically walked over and looked. I would be interested if any other phones have message waiting indicators as visible as the GS 200.
