The company I work for has deployed many Grandstream GXP2000 handsets, both internally and for customers. We have experienced a range of problems with them, ranging from poor call quality to crashes and spontaneous rebooting. I myself use one every day and am far from happy. These days, we ship phones from other providers, such as Polycom. -- "If you set a man by a fire, you keep him warm all day, but set a man on fire and you keep him warm the rest of his life." - Terry Pratchett
