[asterisk-users] Advice on best operator phone (with attendant console)

[C F]

Your problems reflect what grandstream phones do.

I have been using a Polycom 650 with 2 sidecars as well as 601 with no
problems, we don't do paging, but the 650 does around 300 calls an
hour. With no problems.
Asterisk 1.2.x does support BLF. Earlier versions of 1.2.x would lose
subscriptions on a reload, which meant rebooting the Polycoms, but it
was fixed somewhere around 1.2.1x not sure exactly.
