This is a fun 1 way conversation, but I will continue on.
The 8440 works great. You can tell it is built on the Soundpoint SIP stack. It just works. I'm surprised at how little I have had to tell it. It just works. Hold, transfers, IVR, VM, everything. I cannot find any feature that does not work.

Woohooo!
We are up and going with the 8440. It was a setting on our Cisco WAPs where we had to disable Admission Control in a second place. I'm not to sure what the details are on that setting, but I will get them and document if the phone passes all our tests.

They look like they have some potential, but I can't even get it to stay on my wifi network. It connects for a second, and then pukes with a ton of errors. Polycom has my Cisco WAP config, and they even built the Spectralink config for me.

Since the Spectralink's are not plug and play or configurable by sipx directly (plugin welcome), there would be nothing to prevent you from configuring them manually, realize that firmware 3.3 behavior has not been tested (in general) with sipx yet.

Polycom does have a linux tool to convert the 3.2.x or earlier configs to 3.3 formats. Realize also when doing this sipx will overwrite these when doing an upgrade or making a change on a phone. It is very possible to run the config tool against some select phones to test different call scenarios against sipx.

I would also suggest that running this tool and opening the config file for a generic polycom spiundpoint ip and comparing it to the sipxconfig generated profile will allow a spectralink configuration the following; to donload a manually configured spectralink and compere the 3.3.x config file against a soundpoint ip config file that has been run through the upgrade tool in order to get the correct syntax and parameters. Thusly, one could create/edit the spectralink file and make it available in the tftp root for sipxconfig so "additional" phones could manually create/edit the configs, yet be automatically provisioned.

Realize the 3.3 firmware has some really sought after features which have not been addressed yet (phone PIN unlock, hot reload of config without restarting, etc.). The config files have also been streamlined from a parameters standpoint (condensed) and the number of config files per phones have been consolidated (reduced).

Personally, the constant issues with Spectralink's we've experienced and helped people with at our office really get diminished by using the Kirk (DECT) stuff instead. I do realize this is a tougher sell for organizations that already have a wifi infrastructure and want to utilize it.

Good luck with the Spectralink and keep us posted.

    I got 2 8440s in. I got them on wifi at least. That was a little

    the sip setup the following week. I wanted to throw one more
    request out there to see if anyone has done any of the work on
    3.3 or higher (I think the 8440 actually runs 4.X) config files
    for soundpoint phones?

    I should have a 8440 to test with in the next day or 2.
    Has anyone done any development work with Polycom Soundpoint 3.3
    firmware that they can share to get me pointed in the right
    direction?

    Yes, that is why I am getting a demo system from Polycom.

    Polycom: "Yes, the 8440 and 8450 phones are built on the SPIP

    I am running into issues now with my 8020s that may force me to
    chunk them. Is the 8440 the line that was supposed to be based
    on the Soundpoint sip stack?

    Has anybody tested out the spectralink 8400 from polycom?   I
    know the wiki talks about the 8020.
