Hello all,
Is there an advantage to purchasing a VOIP hard phone with a
display for use
with Asterisk versus a hard phone without a display? Are there some
creative
uses of the screen or is it pretty generic?
Would anyone have a URL reference for the basics of how the screen
works? Is
it a web page and the buttons are independently programmed to match
the
screen presentation, or what? I know the question is incredibly
basic, but
in my reading of VOIP-INFO.com and other sites, I have not seen
much info
about this topic.
Thanks,

Depends on your definitions and goals.
Yes screens offer flexible soft keys. Yes you may program creative
applications to use them.
Obviously each manufacturers screens are configured differently and
have different capabilities. Checkout each vendors support pages for
admin guides. As a guidline screens add expense to phones so they are
generally on the better models with additional capabilities. All
screens are not equal. As an example the Polycom IP600 has a great
display. The Polycom IP300 running the same software is almost
unreadable - in my opinion.
