The UTStarcom F1000 with the latest firmware (3.10st) has improved
sound volume over the default firmware shipped with the units.
Also, TFTP configuration works well so you don't have to configure the
units with the keypad. You will need to get the configuration
compiler from your vendor and be aware that the default encryption key
should be set to NULL rather than F1000 as stated in the docs when
compiling your config. At first I was not sure how I would like a
WiFi phone because I figured it would sound bad, but I have been very
impressed with the quality of the F1000. We have now added it to
our VoIP product offerings.<br>
