OT: SIP WIFI phones
We have a Shoretel system, and I'd really like to get some WIFI phones for it, for my own selfish purposes - I want to be able to reach out to my minions while they're away from their desks. Unfortunately management isn't ready yet to buy the SIP gateway for Shoretel, so I'm wondering if any of you have played with asterisk and wifi phones, and a) what your results were, and b) if you have used phones that you especially liked or disliked. Our wireless infrastructure is a set of Cisco 1240AG WAPs plugged into HP 2600-PWR switches, and use is pretty light at the moment, so I think this is pretty doable. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Re: OT: SIP WIFI phones
Avoid F1000 phones - limited software and kind of crappy connectivity. F1000G should be okay if you can find someone selling them - the vendor that said they had F1000Gs turned out to actually have F1000s which I realized after they had been delivered. (In F1000G boxes, of course) Otherwise I've had pretty good luck with Wifi phones on my Asterisk server - you're welcome to reply off-list so I can send you the details if you're interested.

Re: OT: SIP WIFI phones
Thanks for the heads-up. This is a random, quiet-day musing, but I'm going to see if I can get approval to do a proof of concept with a VM and a couple of phones. I'll probably ping you in a couple of days for more info. Thanks!

WiFi phones
Does anyone use wifi phones in their buildings or at home? I have seen some skype only and SIP only phones that don't seem to expensive, but I don't see many new models coming out. Note: I am not looking for cell phones with wifi.

RE: WiFi phones
Thanks, I'm a big fan of newegg's reviews. Just seems that all these phones are a little dated.

I've had bad experience with them. You can find a list of them here (scroll down to where it says WiFi Phones): http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/VOIP+Phones Pay very, very close attention to the reviews on sites like NewEgg, http://www.voip-info.org/, and http://voipsupply.com. If they're cheap it's for a *very* good reason, and remember that you get what you pay for! It seems like most of the good ones are $300 US or more. For some reason it's easier to get a decent SIP desk phone for under $100 US (Polycom IP320) than it is a decent 802.11b/g SIP phone.
