A while back i had asked about possible replacements for snom 360 phones
that were breaking and causing issues and we all discussed the problems
we had with the 360s and some suggestions were made but the new polycom
phones had just hit the market and not many people were able to comment
on them.

Basically i am looking to get some new phones and in the process get rid
of the countless number of problems i have had that has always been
caused by phones (snom 360's and gxp-2000's). I would like to get the
feedback of the list on the phone voted best for stability, working with
*, and ease of use for dumb non tech users.

I was thinking of trying one of these new polycom phones that are about
$150, but havent gotten any feedback on them yet.

Basically i am interested in any phones but snom's, grandstreams, and
sipura's/linksys. mainly polycom's i guess.

thanks

mike

Linksys SPA942. Tried most of available phones on the market.

These phones sits on companies tables for more then a year.

No problem at all, easy to use, nice(!) to use. I recommend to everybody.

They have their ups and downs. If you live outside the US, localising
your tones is a pain in the proverbial since you have to define every
tone by frequency combination and intervals, although I guess you do
only need to do it once.

One other shortcoming of the 942 is the lack of any usable BLF buttons
at all. I'm led to believe that one of the upcoming firmware releases
will allow you to use the four line buttons as BLF buttons, but since
you need at least two line buttons in order to be able to transfer a
call, that means you realistically would only get two BLF keys - not
many - especially if you're used to the Snoms or Grandstreams (hack, spit)

The 962s are /really/ nice phones, albeit somewhat more expensive. The
large colour display is /very/ nice, and button banks for the 962s are
available and very cheap compared to many other options, even if they do
look a little cheap.
