If anyone is interested I just completed a review of this handset. I
had it installed and in use the past couple of months. My review is

Michael,
Nice review. Can this phone be provisioned without using TFTP? For
example, over the internet? Are there other provisioning methods?
Does it always require user input to start up? It looks like you need
to input the SIP login and password details every time? That sounds
very cumbersome from an end-user perspective. For example, if you
manually assign an IP address and TFTP server, then can you power it
on and start using it without further input?

Theres no reason that you can;t do TFTP over the internet... Not so certain
i'd recomend it since TFTP is authentication-less, but its still possible...
and if security is in mind you could limit your TFTP server to specific
source IPs

My impression is that the phone is intended for use in certain vertical
markets like large retail stores, warehouses, factories, etc. As such
the phones would most likely be inside the LAN, not on the public
internet. That said, you're right they could be provisioned from a TFTP
server over the internet is suitable precautions were taken. But then,
there may be better solutions for Wifi SIP roaming.

Considering warehousing, manufacturing and large onsite corporate usage
is the primary target focus of DECT telephony it ,makes sense that
Polycom are steering their 8002 handset into this space.

Yes, the question of DECT vs VoWifi is an interesting one on many
levels. We've all thought about voice+data convergence, but then comes
the questions of where, when & how? DECT & wifi can co-exist if
desired. In some cases there may be advantage to establishing &
supporting only one type of infrastructure. If we presume that they
need wireless data throughout a facility then Wifi comes out on top,
and VoWifi may be the prefered option.
It raises lots of questions. What size & configuration is the facility.
How many DECT bases required vs Wifi APs? How do they price out in each
case? Is wireless data required throughout the facility or campus with
even converage? Or is it only required in certain locations?
It would be very interesting to detail a very large scale DECT
installation (Kirk or Aastra?) vs a comparable VoWifi (Cisco or
Polycom?) installation.
I can easily see cases where DECT wins, and others where VoWifi would
make more sense. Both will no doubt be sucessful in appropriate niches.
Of course, with both the SpectraLink and Kirk brands under the Polycom
umbrella they are playing in both spaces these days.
