The SIP side of every DECT phone I've worked with looks/works just like any
regular SIP phone.  Asterisk just sees a SIP endpoint.  If it's
multi-handset/multi-account it's much like configuring a multi-line SIP
phone.

This is all dependent on the phone/base, but every one I've used does.
 Again, it works just like any other SIP handset that supports a central
config server.

Honestly while there's a little bit of learning to do, deploying a SIP-DECT
solution isn't really different from other phones and you should just jump
into it.

We are very pleased with Spectralink for larger/industrial applications and
Panasonic for small office applications.

Devote four hours to learning and you'll be comfortable with the configs
for either.
