My customer with Cortelco phones is *very* unhappy. They expected
Polycom speaker phone quality on a crap $50 phone. The only reason I
didn't have to take the phones back is because the IT guy that ordered
this system quit the company.
My first Asterisk system dates back to early 2003. That customer has an
Adtran 750 w/ Office Depot analog phones. That system is still in
place, unchanged. Today, I could install that same system at a lesser
price using decent SIP phones. With the GXS2000 at $82, what
justification is there to install analog phones on a channel bank?
If you have unlimited time to deal with an aggravated customers, then go
for the Cortelco/analog solution. If you want a happy customer, install
SIP phones.
Today, I installed a dozen Polycom IP501s into an existing customer for
$2500. I made a few bucks and the customer is proud of the high tech
instrument (and great speaker phone) on his desk. Why would you, as a
vendor, want anything else? Also, they *love* the buddy list with presence.

P.S. Installing phones into a hotel is a different matter.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Analog Desktop Phone
I am looking for a good analog desktop phone to use with
asterisk and my sipura ATAs. I know I want Caller ID, MWI, a
few programmable buttons (for asterisk features), and no
external power supply (so my users can dial 911 through the
SPA-3000 when the power is out). I spent some time looking
at the phones at Fry's today, without finding exactly what I
need. Do any of you have any experience with this?
Thanks,
Dave
