[Asterisk-Users] ip phone

[Cory Andrews]

Bret - I have some overstock units of Zultys Zip2 handsets that are 
brand new that I can offer you for $35/ea.  This is well below your 
target and would allow you a respectable margin.  You are going to have 
a considerable challenge in finding a sub-$50 SIP phone that will pass 
muster in an office environment, unless your customer is completely 
clueless and has no preconception of what to expect.

You can find information on the Zultys Zip2 here ->

The units I have are white, not black, and are good entry level phones 
that will hold up in an office setting.  They do not have an LCD screen, 
but for $35/ea you can't expect a lot of eye candy.  They do have (2) 
call appearances, web based configuration, and programmable softkeys.   
This is a well manufactured unit and I have many clients who have 
successfully integrated these with Asterisk.

It's true, I'd make a couple bucks so take my opinions expressed here 
for what you deem them worth.  The only other SIP phones I know of that 
could be had around your target price would be something from perhaps 
Atcom or there are a host of other Asia based manufacturers who make OEM 
level products, but they are usually quite lacking in terms of 
documentation and have lower standards in terms of manufacturing quality.

Good luck!
