[asterisk-users] Which IP Phone is really the best?

[William Herrera]

Alright, enough.
At first I was to ignore to you all making statements like this one but I
feel at this point that if I do not stop this it seems it will never stop.
First thing first. I have a Bach. in Network Engineering. I did work for the
Telefónica of Puerto Rico installing Asterisk (and working with Polycom,
Cisco, Astra and Grandstream) for a bit over 2 years. I have been doing this
now on my own business since October 2003 (www.lan-solutions.net), so I am
not as you might think I am.
I asked a "simple" question just to hear your opinion. It was not intended
for so many of you waste your time (and mine) writing all this useless notes
....
If you would have taken the same (or less) time just to answer the question
(or to ignore it) we al would have been able to keep it "simple", as
intended...
Case closed.

Seriously, if you intend on proposing this to a customer it means you are
selling your professional services. If you are asking questions like this,
how successful do you expect your customer engagement to be?

Even if someone recommends the "best" phone for your particular application,
you will still have zero competency with it and spend inordinate amounts of
learning time and re-work on the customer's time. Your inexperience will
show. Customers are demanding and you will get thrown out on your a**.
People expect IT to fail from time to time (unfortunately), but they expect
100% availability from their phones. Anything less and you will find
yourself with a priority meeting at the client that includes your manager,
CEO and their lawyer.

Nothing travels faster than a bad reputation. Walk away. Research. Build a
lab. Learn.
