Sorry to desagree with you, just because the new model from BT as seriuos
sound quality problems. This isue is being analised by Grandstream but
without any solution until now.

The features on the phone are great for the price, but now I can not
recomend them...

Regards.

Cumprimentos,

Listen, we sell a lot of Budgetones so I'll admit to having an agenda here,
but I like to think I'm pretty honest and objective about product advice.
These phones got a bad rep based on early versions which admittedly had many
problems.  They now work quite well when configured properly.

No, they are not as good as a $200 Polycom (gasp!).  As far as being the
equivalent of a $10 k-mart phone, I'd like to see a $10 phone that has any
of these features - let alone ALL of them: backlit display, blind and
attended transfer, three-way calling, off-hook auto-dial, auto-answer,
speakerphone AND headset jack, custom ringtones (including one that
announces the caller ID), time and date display, the list goes on.

This phone is not suitable for all applications but it is not fair to say
that it doesn't work well or offer great value for the money. -Mike
