I used one for about 6 months. In general its well behaved with
Asterisk. It is a little tedious to get setup, but then you only need
to doit once. My issue with it were simple. The volume level was always
too low. Also, in order for a call to be sustained while moving between
access points they had to have the same SSID and be on the same
channel. That's less than ideal. Also, it useful range from the AP was
limited.

My assesment was that wireless SIP phone of any sort don't yet match a
decent cordless phone (Dect) plus an ATA.
