<p class=MsoNormal>From my experience Polycom and SNOM are expensive but give
you what you need. Polycom is more intutive to the users but more cumbersome
for the manager to deploy; SNOM is somewhat less intuitive to the user but
everything can be set via the WEB interface.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>

<div>

<p class=MsoNormal>If you talk about 4-5 phones, then probably SNOM is the
choice. It also depends about the specific functions you want to use. I our
specific environment (high use of BLF and shared lines) Polycom wins because it
handles these functions just as the user expects.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I did not try Aastra so cannot testify. We did test Yealink,
Thomson, Asterphone, SipTip and maybe others I forgot. Cisco also seems good
but Cisco does not supply the required socumentation to make them fully
working.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Sure, those phones do not deliver superior usability, but
they at<br>
least give the best sound among budget models.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&gt; And all of those are awful phones. &nbsp;They don't
even make good paper weights.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; You can't have good and cheap in the same sentence when talking about VoIP
phones. &nbsp;You have to take your pick between quality (good) and price
(cheap) you can't have both at once.<br>
