[asterisk-users] Grandstream GXP2000 -- What's the Catch?

[Jeronimo Romero]

Thanks for the input.  I take it the snoms support both BLF & intercom?

They brake easy.
Speaker phone is not very good.
Overall sound not good compared to a Snom, Polycom or Cisco phone.
Drop registrations with Asterisk randomly.
Power supplies die.  Had 4 out of 10 go bad within a year. 
LCD backlight died on 2 that I deployed.

We only do the Snom 320 or 360's now and are just as easy to configure
and have alot of great options as well.

We are doing a medium sized office in NYC with 80 phones. The customer
originally requested Polycom 601 phones. The COO also authorized us to
purchase 2 Grandstream GXP2000 phones for the mail room. We find these
phones much easier to configure and work with asterisk . They support
BLF & intercom right out of the box. They can also be centrally managed
and provisioned. They also sound great and work in a very intuitive way.
We don't have real life experience deploying this phone so I'm just
going to ask:

 

Is there a catch?  Why the huge price difference? These phones seem to
do everything a busy corporate office would need. Is there a big
qualitative difference between this phone and Polycom501/601?? Is there
a major problem with this phone not disclosed by the manufacturer or
vendors. Some feedback from people who have deployed them would be
great. 

 

Thanks In advance.
