Yes, we've received 2 for evaluation from VOIPsupply.com.

The software seems very similar, though I have not had a chance to put
it through full testing yet.

No. It's much larger, has higher resolution, and slightly better
contrast, but it's still not ideal.

Other external changes include:
- 4 soft keys instead of 2
- higher quality buttons (not "squishy" anymore), though I can't comment
  on size and placement w.r.t your preferences.
- much more visible "ringing" LED

Performance wise, I can only repeat what I've read in reviews, since as
I said I haven't put them to use much (though will soon, now that
there's an admin guide): that it has a higher quality handset and a
usable speakerphone.
