Personally I have a TDM card in my Asterisk server so that feature in the phone is not on my list of requirements. I type pretty quick on a handset so the slow response does hinder me a bit which is why it went on my cons list. The Siemens is a good phone as I expect, hopefully ;), the M9 will be. As always I guess it will come down to personal preference. I just hope when the M9 is released it does not have all the issues the M3 had when it was first launched.

Will be interesting to see how they perform across the VoipTalk accounts I have with IAX. Anybody using them with VoipTalk and what is the best codec to use ? Your ability to use G.722 is limited to calling other phones that are G.722, and they typically on when the call is pure IP. If the call transits the PSTN then the phone can only use G.711 like the rest of the legacy public phone network. I know nothing about VoipTalk. If they allow you to call other VoipTalk users via IP then you may enjoy wideband calls to them. Alternatively, you may register a free account with some other SIP provider and start making calls via SIP URI. This is the most common approach to achieving wideband calling. I wrote some guidance on doing just the here: http://www.mgraves.org/voip/2009/06/how-to-series-making-use-of-wideband -voice-right-now/ Oh, yeah. I have a Gigaset A580IP with a couple of additional S67H and SL78H handsets.

If you want to use a headset or you don't need Bluetooth, get a S675IP. They're great, they do g722 wideband and you have plenty of company in the asterisk world to give peer support. We have a bunch of Gigaset owners on our weekly conference and we've even gotten Siemens Gigaset division to make a significant firmware change bexause they're listening to what we users have to say. /r ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Panasonic had some nice looking SIP DECT handsets at the Expo for Astricon. Looked to be robust and more business class than some of the other devices. No idea where or if you can get these yet as it sounded like a fairly new product.
