I don't think you can beat the Polycom's for design, features, configuration options and functionality tho. :)

Especially in light of the fact that you can easily and legally get
the source code and images for $50 Chinese phones based on the PA186
chips. Ok, the phones aren't anywhere near as good as Polycoms, but
many good inexpensive phones do have easily accessible SIP and IAX2
images freely available, including in beta.
Further, Polycom SIP phones have the longest boot time of any phone
I've ever seen (something like 5 min, compared to a Sipure, less than
60 seconds) and the worst web interface of any device I've ever seen
anywhere, so it isn't like they're defending the edge either.
