[Asterisk-Users] Any suggestions for an IP phone?

[Michael Graves]

I have Polycom IP600s and just bought some 500s. I had a Zultys 4x5but
got rid of it. You need to be aware that Zulyts provides no end user
support whatsoever. They send you to the reseller, many of which don't
know enough to be helpful. I had hoped to make the FXO port on the 4x5
forward to * for voicemail purposes. While the firmware supposedly
supported this I could find noone to advise on its setup...so I resold
the phone.

Also, the Zultys stuff just doesn't feel as nice as the Polycom phones,
and they're about the same price.
