I really like my 450 (again). I had used the 650 and the 550... but the 450 covered everything I needed and has a special place as my first HD phone ;) Curious Michael... Why won't you subject people to the 335's? I love these phones for a call center deployment. The are a fantastic agent phone... let alone a great phone for kitchens, break rooms, lobby, etc. But I love them as an agent phone. Deploying them a few hundred at a time is great, and rarely hear a complaint. ---fred http://qxork.com -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
