Dear Stan,

What do small companies (5 people, 8 people max within 3 years) use these

special IP phones would be highly preferable from both a cost perspective as
well as a pure simplicity perspective.

IMHO and weirdly enough the SOHO phone business is dominated by Panasonic.

I have had fairly good luck with the Panasonic KX-TG4000B but this choice is a bit dated. A new version of this might be what you need. I would say the two features you want the most are 1.) SIP compliance at some level and 2.) External music on hold (trust me :^).

Something off the shelf and solid state ideally.

Na, you should clearly buy something that uses vacuum tubes...
