[Asterisk-Users] Mitel Ip phone ?

[Pedro]

Just got the new Mitel 5220 Dual Mode IP Phone and I have to say I am
impressed so far.  Changing to SIP mode is VERY easy as long as you
have the SIP firmware which can be downloaded by going to:

http://sipdnld.mitel.com

Phone audio quality is excellent.  Look and feel are also good.  The
phone can only accept 1 SIP user account, but can handle 4
simultaneous calls.  Conferencing can be done with 2 of the 4
simultaneous calls and you can switch between any of the calls at any
time.  The only issue I see is the small display.  Clearing a missed
call involves cycling through a few menus to clear the missed call log
(not sure there is a short cut for this).  The speed dial buttons
fine, but you must manually write the name of each speed dial button
(Cisco-type LCD would be nice for this but would probably add to the
cost of the phone).

Well, that is my initial impressions.  If I come across anything else
important I will let you know.
