[asterisk-users] Just bought a Polycom 501 - I feel likemyGXP-2000 was better...

[Jerry Jones]

I really like the IP60x phones. Have started using the IP430, so far  
after 20 or so they are fine.

But the IP30x and 50x I refuse to use.

The aastra 480i is also good.

The 9133i has promise.

I do not like the snoms - any.

Grandstream are so so

Budgetone is not bad for the price, but not enterprise grade.

My evals are based on useability, quality, reliability, and management.

pros and cons on all, but the 601/430 are my best picks so far.

I have tested and used Cisco also, but their price and license and  
feature models are nuts, at least the last time I really investigated.
