[Asterisk-Users] Buying some Polycom IP300s

[Rod Bacon]

Over the last few weeks/months I have been testing phones and ATAs from Grandstream (BT101, GXP2000, 286, 488), SNOM (190), Zyxel (Piece of Crap), Sipura (SPA-2000, SPA-841) and I personally feel that the Sipura SPA-841 is the best value, good quality phone that I have used. I haven't used the polycoms yet, but I plan to in the next few weeks.

  Sorry =or the double post, I tried to paste and accidently sent the email

  I've been playing with Asterisk for a few =eeks now, and I've gotten everything to work well with softphones, so I'm ready to =ove on to normal VoIP phones.  I've been looking around and reading =omments that people have had, and I was convinced that the Polycom IP300 was a great =hone for a good price.  But, then I ran into this page, which has been =pdate in the last few days:

  http://w=w.voip-info.org/wiki-Polycom+SoundPoint+IP+500<=DIV> 

  The page in the wiki used to say that the =erson would not recomed Polycom phones to anyone.  So anyway, I just want to =ake sure that the IP300 is a good choice.  I don't want to get cheap phones =hat aren't business quality, since I do play on using them for my business =fter testing.  Also, is the IP500 worth the extra money?  What can =t do that the IP300 can't.  And finally, will the IP300 do ulaw encoding?

  Thanks in advance.
