I know what you mean about the price though I don't mind paying a little extra if the product is worth it. My issue I have with the M3s is that voice occasionally breaks up on even internal calls; no way to download/upload the configuration of the gateway (Snom have said this is for security !?!?); You can upload a directory but cannot download so if adding a new contact from one of the handsets you the have to update you central CSV :(; No mixture of common or handset address books. I should get the S685 tomorrow; so once the M9 is out will buy one to compare the two. From what I have seen of the M9 (small picture) it does look like they have improved the styling and buttons over the M3 which is a good start.
