I've had the Aastra 480i CT for a week or 2 and so far I've been very 
happy, but I've not used it much. Aastra claims that while it will 
support 4 handsets you can only use 2 devices at a time so 2 cordless 
sets or the base and 1 cordless.  They indicated that they expect to 
support all 5 at once in the future.  It acts somewhat like 2 phones 
and somewhat like one. The base and the cordless share a SIP 
connection for each line up to the 9 supported.  The voice quality is 
good and the cordless has enough buttons to do what I need. Best 
price I found was at Provantage, but likely no support and no 
returns.  Asterisk seems to support it correctly. Mine came with very 
old firmware and it didn't do much till I installed the latest firmware.
