Brian,Well you certainly could. And you'd then have to add the cost of the
ATA to your "cost per seat," at least doubling the $65 figure--tripling
it if you meant a Cisco ATA.
NOT, Cisco ATA's can be had fro 99-120 if you are lucky. Then you can also get a cisco 7905 which can be had on ebay for about 99 bucks or so.
bkw
The price you can get a phone for on ebay is not relevant to a business only to a home user..
If I have to quote a customer for a phone I can't tell him that the price is $100 - $120 and the availibility is unknown.. Whet if I have to get 20 or more of them?? How long would it take me to buy a number of them off ebay??
Add to that the fact thet there are not that many availible on the UK ebay..
At the end of the day IMO you have to use the new purchase price of the phone when making product comparisons.. With that as a factor the Cisco looses lots of points..
I agree that the GS is not proving to be all that good in terms of reliability and ease of use in the real world but it can't be touched on cost..
I don't see Cisco dropping their prices so they will always be and "enterprise only" product.. Maybe Snom will drop their prices and become more competitive in the budget arena where the GS currently holds the crown.. I think the Snom phones are great and if the price were lower thay would have a good chance at market domination in the SOHO and small to medium business space..
Later..
