Hi.

we're using a couple of e70 and six e60 in our company.

If you don't set Internet Phone as the primary connection,
it works quite well (if you set Internet Phone as the
primary choice, you'll have to reboot the phone
often, at least once a day... that's what
happens on all our phone even after the last firmware
upgrade).

We don't use Presence, however we can receive calls on our
extension numbers, as well as make calls via wifi with
good quality. We're using iLBC codec, since g729 was not
that good.

My own e70 is also set to connect to my home wifi
access point and automatically register on my company's
asterisk, so that I can make/receive calls when I'm home
as if I were at office.

Battery life is excellent, compared to the enabled radio
functions (bluetooth is on for wireless headset,
wi-fi is on, umts/gsm of course
is on), about 1 day 1/2 with many phone calls.

My greatest concern is about its poor
exterior robustness... I hope I'll never let it
fall to the floor, it looks like it'll break into
a thousand pieces.

I can say I'm overall satisfied, although I'm
hopefully waiting
for a more stable firmware.

Alberto.
