I disagree with the Grandstreams. I have had pretty good luck with the 2000's and the GXP2010 especially. The Aastras i've had more of an issue with, but i'm not completely against them. The fact that you have to use I.E. on the Aastra web UI is kinda crappy, but you do what you have to do.<div>

<br>
You're going to some some trouble finding speex support in hard phones.<br>
Few support it. None from major manufacturers that I'm aware of. You<br>
will find G.729 support in just abotu every phone, and G.723 in many as<br>
well.<br>
<br>
I reality G.729 is the industry standard low bit rate codec. 8 kbps is<br>
pretty low, and it's MOS rating is good.<br>
