I'm one of the 'for's' ...<br><br>Just deployed a small number of their new GXP2100's too. I think this is their replacement for the GXP2000. They seem to be going for the "Sit up and beg" type phone rather than the flat desktop of the GXP2000.<br>
<br>They're rather nice - a bit heavier than the GXP2000 and sound quality is better too. Also cheaper with the same (and more) functionality. I've not yet gotten my head round all their fancy XML screen setup stuff, but the built in weather app. does seem to work when you put in he right town code (from yahoo, apparently!)<br>
<br>But a lot of people got stung with Grandstream in their early days, so it's buyer beware here. Personally I've gotten on really well with them and they've been a boon for clients who've been on a really tight budgets (I have a few charities, etc. on my books) I've also just re-cycled an office worth of 20 of them which are now 3.5 years old, and they looked a bit worn - the numbers seem to wear out on the buttons, but they were all functional. (after a cleanup!)<br>
<br>Watch out for the PSUs though - I have had a higher than expected number of failures there, but I suspect it was down to one batch of dodgyness.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Gordon</font>
