customers in real businesses, not just sitting around the house.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Snom - excellent quality. All of the buttons work.
NAT functionality was exceptional. Web Interface was really, really good. I
loved this phone until I dumped it on 3 of my beta testing customers. The
phones were universally despised. They hate having to push the OK
button to make a call, even when you explain the procedure of dialing first then
picking up the handset. They hated the default ringtones. They hated the handset
being too light and many times, the handset slides off the cradle then the
extension rings busy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sipura 841 - What a piece of trash. NAT is awful.
Buttons are sticky out of the box. Only a single ethernet port. The display - I
have exceptional vision, and I had a hard time with the LCD display. My wife
coudln't read it at all, and she wears glasses. This one headed to ebay all of
40 minutes after opening the box.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Grandstream Budgetone 101 - Transfer button doesn't
work. Message button doesn't work. I tried all of the fixes on the wiki, still
no results. The PC port is actually only 10Mbps speed. The handset cradle is too
tight, if you don't make double sure the handset is in the cradle, it may not
be. Nobody seemed to like the numeric buttons on the phone. NAT functionality is
really good however. That being said, it was first VOIP phone and for some
reason I have an emotional attachment to it, so all of us are still using them
in our company. I am anxiously awaiting the GXP2000. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cisco 7912G - I am waiting on one to show up and
will test it out next week.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Uniden IP200 - I am waiting on one of these also.
Although, I have to say, their 4 handset analog wireless set absolutely rocks,
so I have high hopes for this phone.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for Ananlog Telephone Adapters:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Grandstream handytone 286 - Same web interface as
the Budgetone pretty much. As a single line ATA, it works great, although it's
way overpriced.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Linksys PAP2-NA, works perfectly, no complaints.
DON'T MISPLACE OR FORGET YOUR PASSWORD. I am sure we have a guru or two that
could help me out if needed, but I went into an extreme panic when I forgot the
admin password to the box. No reset button, and Linksys WILL NOT HELP YOU. They
don't care if you are the service provider or not. I took a break, grabbed some
coffee, sat down and watched some TV, then remembered the password thank
goodness. I handed out 10 to residential customers, all of whom liked the
product.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
