[Asterisk-Users] GXP-2000

[Erick Baum]

We setup a company with 50 of these phones and had my client not been as
understanding as they were, that could have put me out of business.  What an
unbelievable nightmare.  This was about 8 months ago when the firmware was
so bad the phone was a better paper weight than anything else.

Since then, they've fixed a lot of problems and made a lot of the features
work like they're supposed to.  But we still have issues with them quite
frequently.  From phones that need to be rebooted occationally, to ones that
just drop calls, or do nothing when you pickup the receiver... lots of
little qwerks.  We even experience their poor grounding problem every once
in a while when you get a small static shock from the phone which cases it
to reboot.  I don't think there's any firmware that can fix that.  We had to
get several phones RMA'd because they just plain died.  The worst ongoing
issue has been the echo and the really crappy speakerphone.  The customer is
pretty much used to it now.  But we're slowly replacing them with Polycom's
as new people come on and as others just get fed up.  Unfortunately one of
the phones met it's doom by way of a hammer.  But I guess, what do you
expect for under a hundred bucks.
