Just got the new Mitel 5220 Dual Mode IP Phone and I have to say I am impressed so far. Changing to SIP mode is VERY easy as long as you have the SIP firmware which can be downloaded by going to:
http://sipdnld.mitel.com Phone audio quality is excellent. Look and feel are also good. The phone can only accept 1 SIP user account, but can handle 4 simultaneous calls. Conferencing can be done with 2 of the 4 simultaneous calls and you can switch between any of the calls at any time. The only issue I see is the small display. Clearing a missed call involves cycling through a few menus to clear the missed call log (not sure there is a short cut for this). The speed dial buttons fine, but you must manually write the name of each speed dial button (Cisco-type LCD would be nice for this but would probably add to the cost of the phone). Well, that is my initial impressions. If I come across anything else important I will let you know.
