[asterisk-users] wifi sip phone real-world experiences?

[Alban]

Hi,
I've tested several wifi phone (UtStarcom, Hitachi 3000 and 5000, and one 
Siemens). The Siemens is the best one, for a really cheaper price than 
hitachi. And was the only one which roams well between AP (same SSID, same 
channel) with WPA. Battery is still a problem, especially if the coverture is 
not very good everywhere. But that was the best one I could test... The 
reference is : Gigaset SL75 WLAN.
Hope it helps
Alban
