[Asterisk-Users] Phone recommendations?

[undrhil.1528785 at bloglines.com]

If the end-user PCs are setup with speaker/microphones or are using headsets
with boom mikes, you could look around at some of the free softphones, like
X-Lite or their pay-for cousins.

Unfortunately, phones of any quality higher
than "1-line, caller id, speaker phone" are going to cost some money, especially
VoIP phones, since this is a new market and the companies are trying to find
the business models for selling these phones.  Since people buy them at the
prices they are, the companies aren't going to go lower unless forced to by
(a) competition in the market or (b) newer models being released making older
models "less desirable".

I'm afraid that's the telecom industry in a nutshell.
