[asterisk-biz] Grandstream v. Polycom

[Rob Peck]

John,

As someone who has both deployed in an office setting (GXP-2000s and 
Polycom IP-330s, as well as a few PAPs and some other random crap), I 
can give you a little info. Both work with Asterisk, but I would 
recommend the Polycom. It's only about $30/each more for a better phone.

The GXP has some neat features, but the quality of construction and 
sound quality on the Polycoms is just so far ahead of the Grandstreams 
that it's not even in the same ballpark. The Polycoms are also far 
easier to provision (it's just simple XML).

The only problems I've had with the Polcom are NAT issues, but it's not 
something I've even put more than 5 minutes of research into since 
everything here is on our local LAN.
