[Asterisk-Users] Handset recommendations

[Michael Graves]

I have a 480i CT as my primary deskphone now for about a year. Prior to that my favorite was the Polycom IP600. I also have a handful of IP500s.

The 480i CT is a GREAT phone for the money. The cordless works well, much better than the early sip wifi handset I tried (Hitachi WIP-5000.) 

The Polycoms are great too...but no cordless and harder to provision.

Cisco hardware seemed like a lot of hassle to license as well as very costly. 

Early on I used SPA-3000 and SPA-2000 units connected to a Panasonic key system. Once you've tried real SIP hard phones ATA's just kinda lose their appeal.

Seeking recommendations on handsets for use with Asterisk. 

I've been looking at the Aastra 480i CT because of its cordless handset and also the new Linksys SPA-942.  Anyone using either one of these with comments on them? 

Any other thoughts on good reasonably priced handsets?  This is for just a couple of people who work from home offices and will be connecting to an Asterisk server hosted in a 
datacenter. 

Thanks!
