color=#0000ff size=2>I have used both and there is no comparison, from the
user's end, it makes a big difference. One of the most important aspects
of a customers experience is the ease of use. If someone simply wants
to make cheap calls, they do not care, but if they are looking for a good phone
for a good price, the sipura 94x series are great. I personally prefer
polycom/cisco. Polycom is great for multiple call handling, whereas the
cisco 7960 is great for a remote worker.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ken,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would tell the client that you offerd phones for
under $100.00 and he didnt like them so now for a diffrent phone he will have to
pay more. Also I have an 841 and for it works great. I also installed one for a
customer in a mechanic shop and no complaints.</FONT></DIV>

all. I quoted a customer about $100 for some cheap SIP phones.
I<BR>was planning on using the BT-102's, but he called said they look
like<BR>"Princess phones," and I have to admit that he has a point. Some
of the<BR>other inexpensive phones look decent, but (for example) the
SPA-841's<BR>wiki entry says the remote end gets a lot of static. Since
it'll be<BR>being used from a noisy environment (a cleanroom), the less
overall<BR>static, the better. Someone suggested the Polycom 301's, but
I'd lose<BR>money on them. [I'll go with them if I have to, as I'm making
money<BR>elswhere, but still...] So, does anyone have any suggestions for
decent<BR>sub-$100, professional-looking SIP phones?<BR><BR>Thanks!<BR><BR>Ken
