[Freeswitch-users] Fs compatible phones?

[Campbell Steven]

I would strongly suggest the old Cisco is a bad choice, I have alot of
uptime with those handsets on alternative platforms, I say alternative
as really they are just designed to work with Call Manager. If you had
to pick from the bunch you suggested I would probably pick the
SPA-942, not that it's a great phone but it's the best of that average
lot. The reasons I would pick it:

-Full web UI that you can configure pretty much everything without
having to resort to provisioning straight up
-BLF support (useful to have and the Cisco 7960 doesn't, under SIP anyway)
-Ability to centrally provision if you so desire in the future
-Can register 4 SIP accounts
-Can do Broadsoft SLA
-802.3af PoE (unlike the 7960 which is pre-standard)

Normally I'd be pushing Polycom as well, but the 501 was getting old
when the 942 brand new...
