The problem with a phone compatibility list is that there are many different degrees of functionality with Asterisk, some SIP phones like the 3com phones that claim SIP-compatibility don't fully work with Asterisk and are not under development anymore(that's why you don't hear much about them on the list) There are some others that will work with Asterisk if you don't have them register(like the Teledex SIP phones) but this results in reduced functionality. Here is a small list of the phones that are talked about a lot on the list:
-Cisco 7960/7940 (expensive, but pretty, have to pay extra for the firmware) -Grandstream Budgetone 101/102(cheap but fairly functional) -Snom 100/200(European design, good features, cheaper than Cisco) A little less talked about but still compatible: -Polycom ip500/600 (many functions of the Cisco phones, but much cheaper, have to get docs from friend on list) And there are always the analog phone -> SIP adapters: - Cisco ATA186/188 (again, Cisco=expensive and paid frimware updates) - Grandstream HandyTone (cheap and tiny) - SIPURA (new company, cheap for 2 ports) - any T1 channel bank(cheapest per port solution usually, but need free T1 port) I'm sure I've forgotten Many devices, but these are the ones you'll be able to get help on from others because lots of people are using them.

Is there a phone compatibility list anywhere? I know Asterisk is supposed to be compatible with IP phones that support SIP, h.232, and IAX, but a list of phone known to be supported would be a nice addition to the documentation. I need a buisiness phone, and the Cisco is _EXPENSIVE_ I like the 3com 1102, but it is NBX phone, and I can find no documentation of this phone working with Asterisk, even though it is listed as a SIP phone, and is supposed to support h.232. Anyone got this one working?
