We've been quite happy with Polycom SoundPoint IP phones. They are a tad 
pricey but they look nice, work well, and are extremely easy to deploy. They 
used to have poor NAT support but with the 2.0.x firmware, it's getting 
better. They can be provisioned with FTP, TFTP, HTTP, and HTTPS. The only 
complaint that I have with them is that their provisioning file format makes 
XML developers cry in sorrow.
