I kind of feel with the 870 that they decided they were going to make a touch screen phone first before they decided how they were going to implement it or how it was going to be useful on the phone. There are alot of ways of doing the same thing on them which makes them rather confusing to teach especially with transferring calls, the method of "dragging" calls in coloured bubbles around the screen is error prone and just plain difficult in practice given the orientation of the phone. There is also almost a disconnect between some of the hard keys on the handset and touch screen and they behave in different ways, especially the speaker phone key which doesn't work in some scenarios but does in others. The Vision sidecar that matches has only just in a beta release got BLF functionality, nearly 12 months after it's release is not great either (BLF support on a side car is pretty critical I think). Anyway, before you jump in I would suggest you buy one and see what you think.<BR>

I was planning on replacing our Cisco SPA962s with snom 870s. Could you please tell me why they are diabolical? Thanks.

The Snom 870 will do it with a USB Wifi dongle, but in my experience don't go there, they are a diabolical handset from a usability standpoint.<BR>

Victor,

Oopppssss, my apologies - I thought it might be a common query for folks
thinking about FS - but maybe in another "list"?

I did NOT - and I've deployed a lot of them to support "PC"s! THANK YOU!

EXCELLENT suggestion!
(Maybe I'm drifting even more O-T, but... I'm also glad you did not
mention WiFi devices from Linksys - in my experience, some of these
boxes performed very poorly, but I seem to be the only one on the planet
with these experiences!).

Yes, I think all APs are currently running on WPA2.
Thank you VERY much, Victor!
