The weird thing is that I haven't seen it yet because I had it shipped to the lab in California where I'll be testing it.
"The Budgetones are soo cheap, they couldn't even afford the second 't' in their name!". Be aware that these are _seriously_ budget handsets. A friend of mine who is doing a lot of voip stuff with asterix experimented with using these about a year ago. They were missing some feature that prevented them from being usable in the installations they were doing, sorry I can't remember specifically what it was. Additionally, they just feel cheap. Open one up and they're 90% air, with the PCB hot-glued in. They'd be fine for tinkering or whatever, but I wouldn't put my name on a system built around them. If you move up to the Snom stuff you'll get much higher quality for a relatively small jump in price.. -- -Regards- -Quentin Hartman-
