Re: [Asterisk-Users] [OT] Small SIP phones?

2004-12-13 Thread tim panton
Well, I know it isn't a classic style handset, but the Prestige 2000W is
small light and portable. If you have a suitable WiFi Card in your
laptop acting as an access point, you could squeeze a couple into
your laptop bag and do a pretty convincing demo without having to
hook into the client's network at all.
One thing though, the current version of the firmware of these
phones doesn't seem to be able to do 128 bit WEP encryption and
aLaw at the same time, it occasionally drops a 10th of a sec.
I've turned off encryption on that network, and now the phone seems
fine.
Apart, that is, from the fact that I haven't quite got to the bottom of
why it sometimes slips into g729 when I haven't asked it to.
I suspect the fact that I'm running 6 month old * build may be partly 
to blame.

Tim.

The main reason is that (I believe) the quality of audio with a soft phone is 
generally not as good as that from a real SIP phone?

The other reason is that I want to be able to show VoIP in operation to 
clients (which is where I would be taking the phone with me), so a standalone 
phone, which is not dependent on any software installed on my laptop, is a 
much neater arrangement.

True, you don't need the high voltage ringing, but with a standard SIP phone 
you still need a PSU for it.   I couldn't rely on a client's network switch 
supporting PoE for when I wanted to plug one in.

Antony.

I may be wrong, but if you always carry your laptop around, why don't
purchase a USB handset?
It'll give you a mic and phones in one handset, and installs as a sound
card, so it can ring and you don't have to put it next to your ear (the
problem with using head phones is that once they're on the desk and not
on your head you might miss some phone calls).

Some of these come with a softphone, and some can use your softphone of
choice.

As far as I know, their not cheaper the full fledged VOIP phones, but
it'll be the smallest option

Three, in fact. The powersupply also adds to the required space. This is
one of the biggest advantages of having an all-in-one solution, because
you don't have to generate high voltage/high power ring signalling.

I don't know of a small phone, but you use a WorlACCXX TA200 device (pretty
small) along with any standard analogue phone.
http://www.worldaccxx.com I have one and carry it around in my laptop bag.
Demensions are 6"x4.5"x1.25"

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] [OT] Small SIP phones?

Hi.

Does anyone know of any small SIP phones (and preferably have some experience
of using them and happy to recommend them)?

By 'small' I mean a single-piece phone, with dial buttons in the handset, so 
that it can be carried around easily in a laptop bag.   Something like 
http://maplin.co.uk/images/Full/35493i0.jpg (which is unfortunately just a
standard analogue telephone).

Ideally I'd like something without a cradle, which can simply be put on a
desk and answered by picking it up.

Thanks,

Antony.

Thanks.   In fact I already have a Grandstream ATA-486, which I'm very pleased

105 x 75 x 25mm (or 4" x 2.75" x 1"), however I'm just wondering if there's a
