I am quite excited about the possibilities with this kit - especially video calls. Unlike the earlier Cisco phones (e.g. 79 series), these can't be used standalone, and require a TFTP server to get their config. After many hours of faffing, I've got the basic config parsing OK, but now I am stuck. The phone won't actually finish booting without access to a couple more files - a g4_tones.xml (which I've created from a g3_tones I found kicking about, following a tip on the net) and gd_sip.jar which seems to contain locale specific information or at least be locale specific. From what I can gather, the gd_sip.jar is contained in po-locale-en-xxxxx which is listed on Cisco's website for download but requires a partner login.

I will write up my experiences for the greater good - these phones have the potential to be awesome with asterisk.
