[Asterisk-Users] Buying some Polycom IP300s

[Paul Hales]

My personal opinion is that the Polycom IP-300 is a slightly better phone than the Sipura, but I would be happy to be proved wrong on that.
 
later,

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 <http://www.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.
