FYI, I have a site with 6 of the SPA-841 units in plave and they were
working find until last week.  On of them licked up and now cannot get
past "Initializing Network" on boot.  It's on it's wayback to Sipura for
replacement.

A more uncomfortable issue is that the speaker phones were found to be
working very poorly.  The speakerphone user is just about inaudable to the
user on the other end of the call.  This is the case with all of the units
I have.  I had them all running the lates firmware from the website.  In
Sipura's defense, they responded within about 15 minutes to my support
email with a link to a "test" version of the firmware which improved
things but didn't completely fix it.

My gut feel is that Sipura is still learning with their first hard phone. 
The price is great for the feature set and I have no other serious
complaints about the phone.  I'd like to see the buttons improved and the
display be tiltable for better viewing.  We got used to both of these
quickly though.  We'll be overjoyed when the speakerphone wrinkles get
ironed out.

$0.02,
