[asterisk-users] Best "Console" phone?

[Jonathan C. Bailey]

That's surprising.. When I looked at pricing, the Snom 370 was about $50 more expensive than a 57i for us (the 57i was $205). Also, configuration wasn't too bad on the Aastra, but that may just be me.

BTW, it also looks like the Snom has support for an electronic headset "lifter" on some GN Netcom and Plantronics wireless sets. That's a cool feature that I haven't seen on the Aastra yet.

We usually use Snom 370s + sidecar modules if required.

We had a brief dabble with the Aastra 57i some time ago - the LCD sidecar is beautiful - much nicer than the paper inserts in the Snom sidecar, but the Aastra was substantially more time consuming to configure, and quite a bit more expensive.
