<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Over the last few weeks/months I have been testing
phones and ATAs from Grandstream (BT101, GXP2000, 286, 488), SNOM (190), Zyxel
(Piece of Crap), Sipura (SPA-2000, SPA-841) and I personally feel that the
Sipura SPA-841 is the best value, good quality phone that I have used. I haven't
used the polycoms yet, but I plan to in the next few weeks.</FONT></DIV>

and I've gotten everything to work well with softphones, so I'm ready to =ove
on to normal VoIP phones. I've been looking around and reading =omments
that people have had, and I was convinced that the Polycom IP300 was a great
=hone for a good price. But, then I ran into this page, which has been
=pdate in the last few days:</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

would not recomed Polycom phones to anyone. So anyway, I just want to
=ake sure that the IP300 is a good choice. I don't want to get cheap
phones =hat aren't business quality, since I do play on using them for my
business =fter testing. Also, is the IP500 worth the extra money?
What can =t do that the IP300 can't. And finally, will the IP300 do ulaw
encoding?</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
