The GXP2000 firmware is not bad for features and ease of use but still buggy. The hardware is junk to be quite honest and I don't think firmware will ever fix that. The Aastra 9133i hardware is 10x better. The 9133i firmware is still a work in progress though but they are coming out with new firmware every few months and each iteration improves the operation. Long term I believe any of the Aastra phones are a MUCH better.

I know it's still beta, but don't use the latest firmware in production unless you can live with an empty display after transferring a call. Only a reboot of the phone will give you text on the display again. I tested and confirmed this with 5 phones. No problems when using the latest stable firmware. We don't use the speakerphone so I don't know about that, but we have no echo issues using the handset. The Aastra phones are really close in price, really should get one so I can test those. -- Michiel van Baak http://michiel.vanbaak.info [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x7E0B9A2D "Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?" _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
