[Asterisk-Users] Comments on Voice Quality IP Hard Phones

[Jonathan Moore]

Want to add a little something about the BG speakerphone. It is not very loud, 
but it is pretty good other than that. I have tested snom 100, snom 200, and 
siptones and BG is the only one that was remotely close to usable. The bg 
actually has a full duplex speakerphone which is not all the common in a lower 
cost unit. It is probably usable for a single person in a fairly quiet 
environment. I have the snom almost working with the speaker but since it is 
half duplex and I have an ajoining server room which creates a lot of 
background noise the remote end sound pops in and out.

For a conferening phone module I am looking at using and analog Polycom 
SoundStation with a sipura IP converter.
