For client deployments with a significant number of Gigasets we tell them to update the phonebook on a web interface, then hit "publish" which pushes it out to each handset using a simple curl call.

Yeah, i am aware of this, but if you have a great number of phones and 
many base stations you have to access the web interface quite often.
We worked on a scripted way of erasing the phone books and uploading the 
new data, but the incorporated the risk of breaking the script if an 
firmware update changes the web interface.

The builtin phone book if rather limited. 170 entrys is easy reached for 
a company phone book.

But maybe someday there will be a really useful solution, like accessing 
  a ldap server.

Well, actually it does ... After patching it in ... I have found the 
patch in the Bug Tracker and it works, if the telephone listens to it.

Regards.
