Yes, though I would not call it hum, somewhat more like a small amount 
of data hash.
Other than that, the sound quality of the phone through the handset is 
really good.

On mine the speakerphone is unusable.
The designer chose to put the mike on the BOTTOM, rather than the front, 
and used a very small hole as well. Enlarging the hole doesn't seem to 
really help,. Output to the distant end can hardly be heard.

Not to mention the display is small and not backlit. Might as well not 
be there.
All the phones in the under 100 dollar range have defects, but I think 
the BT100 is probably the best value for the dollar.
Of course, you could spend 300 bucks for some of the better names. They 
also have some "gotchas"
IMO, SIP phones have a long way to go to match even fairly cheap  hybrid 
phones and their systems.
