 The Sipura SPA-841 is a nice compromise between the Ciscos and the
 Grandstreams.

Check out the new Grandstream GXP-2000. I've been testing  these,
they're much better than the BT-100s.

[Asterisk-Users] IP Phones for home use?

2005-05-03 Thread Neil Cherry
I currently have Asterisk, an X100P and a Grandstream 100 for
playing around with. I'm interested in another IP phone for
daily use. The Grandstream is fine but feels a little cheap
and won't be acceptable by my wife (very important). What
I want is a phone with lots of buttons and an LCD screen
with lots of information (the Cisco 7970 would be nice)!
But the reality is that we need a phone that is not overly
complicated, handles 2 calls, caller ID info, reasonably
priced, not ugly looking (the 7920's are ugly) and not much
else. So a compromise to something in between is called for.

Neil,
The Cisco 7912G is a great phone or the 7940G, the 7912 only handles one 
line, but has a higher resolution screen, while the 7940 can handle 2 (4 
with call waiting).

What are your recommendations for a slightly fancy home phone?

Cisco 7940
Great phone. Great feel of quality (solid).
And you can put a logo on it.

This winds up being very user specific.  I love Polycom, others love
SNOM others love Cisco... Etc...

The Polycom IP300 is nice but only one row LED.  IP500 is a great phone
and has 3 line LED.
Personally, I love the whole upright look and the phones have good
speaker phone.

$0.02.

Cheers,
Wiley

2005-05-03 Thread Neil Cherry
Thanks for all the opinions I have a lot of good examples now.
I do like the 7940G and I may borrow one from the lab and see
how well it goes. I'm also happy to have the rest of the opinions
and I've not eliminated the other vendors just slimmed it down
to fewer models. Lastly my wife informed me that she wants this
really ugly phone to be put in the kitchen. Looks like a phone
with a crank on the side. I know better than argue so I'll be
getting one of the Sipura gateway devices.
