You get what you pay for. <br><br>Snoms are good phones. Grandstreams are also good. I hear Snoms are easier to get around NAT and the seem like higher quality construction. <br>Grandstreams are great for cheap and easy set-ups. I remember one guy telling me he buy up a case and if anything goes wrong with a unit he has a couple spares to go in its place.
<br><br>Over all... if you're looking for setting up office phones, Snom, Polycom, and Aastra look/feel nice.<br>If you're looking to set up small offices or call centers on the cheap, Grandstreams are OK.<br><br>
I personally like Grandstream for home use, but I use Polycom for work, and I hear good things about Snom.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 20, 2007 12:06 AM, d tbsky <<a href="mailto:tbskyd@gmail.com">tbskyd@gmail.com
