Some of these features are in the 1.0.1.9 version that was released last 
week. Missed and dialed numgers are available, although not in a very 
good interface (press the left and right arrows while off-hook). They do 
have separate memories per configured account.

Grandstream clains thay will address the speakerphone problems in an 
upcoming release. I think they need a more advanced echo canceler since 
the speaker and microphone are acoustically strongly coupled.

Also expected in the near term is suppor for Subscribe/Notify.

On the other hand Grandstream seem to care about what their users want, at 
least for minor features. Everything we asked for was included in the 
current release. They seem serious in their attempt to break into the 
higher end market.
