<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">We are doing a medium sized office in NYC with 80 phones.
The customer originally requested Polycom 601 phones. The COO also authorized
us to purchase 2 Grandstream GXP2000 phones for the mail room. We find these
phones much easier to configure and work with asterisk . They support BLF &
intercom right out of the box. They can also be centrally managed and
provisioned. They also sound great and work in a very intuitive way. We don't
have real life experience deploying this phone so I'm just going to ask:</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Is there a catch? Why the huge price difference? These
phones seem to do everything a busy corporate office would need. Is there a big
qualitative difference between this phone and Polycom501/601?? Is there a major
problem with this phone not disclosed by the manufacturer or vendors. Some
feedback from people who have deployed them would be great. </span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Thanks In advance. </span></font></p>
