Not what you are looking for but we were looking for a good one as well and wound up.... using our iPad with SipPhone, works perfectly with FS. We stopped looking for SIP phones and use the iPhones/iPads with SipPhone, (there are other clients). On Jan 20, 2012, at 1:45 AM, Markus Lindenberg wrote:

Can someone please shed some light on the Siemens phone or any alternative that you have successfully implemented.
I'm using a quite old Gigaset C450IP with FreeSWITCH, works great, including callerid and call transfers. I still get firmware update notifications from time to time, so i'm happy with long term support. The Gigaset web ui doesn't have too many options and settings like Polycom and Snom stuff, but all the basics are there.
We also use a bunch of Gigaset C610IPs with Asterisk and right now a N510IP Pro DECT base is sitting on my desk for evaluation. The pro DECT base can handle 6 handsets each with a different SIP account and 4 simultaneous calls. Voice quality and usability are superb - from a european perspective, that's mostly because the phones have a 'R'-key for consultation calls and can do transfer-on-hangup. Automated provisioining is possible as well, although you have to nag Gigset about the specs. Hopefully they'll open up more, some technical details at http://wiki.gigaset.com/ look like a good start.
We had user acceptance problems using Snom m3 at a customer and anticipate better results rolling out Gigaset handsets, partly because almost every german with a landline is using a Gigaset phone at home (seriously!). The Gigaset division was split from Siemens and now the company is called Gigaset.
If you need support for more handsets and multi cell setup with handover in call, have a look at Aastra's stuff. Setup is pretty straightforward as well, but also much more expensive.
