Hi Folks,
+3 for the Gigasets. I have a number of these setups -- with different handsets.
These are working fine with fS in all of my servers.
TL;DR: I paid my own money for two of these for my own use. My wife doesn't know
she's using SIP for all calls -- it's just a 'phone.
Voice Quality seems to be good, range is excellent, battery life is fine (though
they spend most of their time in the desk stands, charging).
I have not used bluetooth headsets with them, so can't talk on that. The 2.5 mm
audio connector works fine (some folk prefer clipping the phone to their waist
and wearing a headset -- YMMV).
The N300A (consumer DECT SIP base station) voicemail is OK, but IMHO over-compresses.
The in-built web server by which the base is configured is OK if slow.
Configuring the base via a connected handset is possible, but like every manufacturer's
version of that I've seen, it's not recommended for mere mortals without a lot of patience.
[...and apart from the annoyance of the battery compartment door falling open if you
drop them, and the handset NOT being waterproof/toiletproof, they're remarkably robust]
As for Polycom, can't speak for the "straight" SIP versions, but I have experience
of their Lync DECT multicell system & handsets; IMHO these don't even reach the
'blows goats' level. Work has 50 of them; user feedback is that voice quality,
coverage, battery life is "not as good as we might hope".
Opinion seems to be that these are a step back from the siemens cellular DECT
'phones we had on the old "steam" PBX (being polite).
Sigh. For all portable systems, Try before you buy.
all the best,
Lawrence
