I just watched the webinar on this product. Very few technical details or details of any kind. They just talked about how easy it is to add an extension without having to pay some guy to come out and do it. The only feature that looked interesting was the voice recognition. It seemed to work pretty good at recognizing names and then dialing. They also talked about how you only need to press the one "special" button on the phone and the rest could be done with the voice recognition. Looks like it will be able to integrate or import outlook contacts which is no big deal.
You will need an additional ATA gateway to connect to the PSTN unless your using a VoIP provider. No mention of standards based protocols or the ability to use 3rd party phones, gateways, VoIP providers etc. In other words, you gotta drink the M$ coolaid and use Dlink or the other two manufacturers hardware. The phone looks pretty cheap. Nothing to get too excited about overall IMHO! There is already similar stuff out there from Linksys etc. My 2 cents. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
