[asterisk-users] ip phone suggestion for Asia?

[Joe]

You get what you pay for.

Snoms are good phones. Grandstreams are also good. I hear Snoms are easier
to get around NAT and the seem like higher quality construction.
Grandstreams are great for cheap and easy set-ups. I remember one guy
telling me he buy up a case and if anything goes wrong with a unit he has a
couple spares to go in its place.

Over all... if you're looking for setting up office phones, Snom, Polycom,
and Aastra look/feel nice.
If you're looking to set up small offices or call centers on the cheap,
Grandstreams are OK.

I personally like Grandstream for home use, but I use Polycom for work, and
I hear good things about Snom.
