I am yet to run into a worse IP phone than the Grandstreams - although having said that, I should say that I've always steered clear of most of the Chinese "no-name" brand phones. They're unstable, temperamental and upgrading the firmware is a crapshoot half the time since you never know what new bugs will be introduced and quite often you can't downgrade the firmware if you don't like the newer firmware. My suggestion would be to look at the Snom 300 (although they are very simplistic phones), the Polycom IP330 (I have a feeling the 320s don't support PoE) or the Linksys phones. I noted an earlier post saying that these phones were overpriced and designed to lock you in to Linksys gear - my experience has been completely different. The SPA-942 is quite cheap and integrates nicely with Asterisk. The SPA-962 is considerably more expensive - but considering the size of the colour LCD screen, they're not that badly priced. (as an aside, the button banks for the SPA-962 are one of the /cheapest/ available!)
