Hi,

Polycoms are the best (from my experience) but the most expensive ones. Polycom-501 is an old model, needs special cable with power supply (no PoE, unless you buy a special cable); some of my 501 are already broken, so I won't buy it these days.

You can also look for AudioCodes-320 or AudioCodes-310. I have a few dosens of the first one, and the users are quite happy. Note that they do not support SLA yet, and BLF will be supported in the next software release (I have a beta version of it).

Thanks for all the good advice, but sadly out of my current price range.

I'm finding several phones sub $50 range listed on ebay, A few so far
and this list will grow,

Toshiba IP5122-SD
Cisco CP-6921
Cisco 7940
Cisco SPA-942
Fanvil FV6020
Avaya 4412D+
Soyo 7 G668
Polycom Soundpoint IP501

Any Opinions?
