I concur, I settle on the snom M3, but i did not have any requirements

We evetually settled on the Polycom Spectralink 8002. A nice rugged little phone with great sound quality and some good features. We use a managed switch to create seamless wifi coverage over all of our AP's. Provisioning the phone is pretty easy, but no web browser if you were planning on using the phone to travel with, some hotels require login for internet access.
