Hey guys, I need to grab a few phones to be used in a shop environment so spending a lot of money isn't desired as they will probably get wrecked soon. My only experience is with Aastra and Snom, the Aastra's I have are expensive and work well (at least sound quality is good), the Snom's not so. Given all the <$100.00 Grandstream's and Polycom's, anyone have an opinion on what works best w/ FS? None of our existing phones have configs handed out via tftp but its desired that these would so that replacement is easy. Thanks for any opinions... jlc
Actually - Aastra has the 30i (1 LAN) and 31i which you can find for $100 or less. And in my opinion - Aastra is the easiest to write tftp configs for, even after writing Polycoms for 10 years, I stumble, and their web gui is not much better.

Very much appreciate that info. Aastra it is, those 6730/1i's fit the bill... Thanks John, jlc
What's wrong with the audio of Snom phones? What codec are you using?
Well, more so the overall quality of Snom and the competency of their support. I bought a few of the first M3's which where total sh!t. A quote from the support guy about firmware upgrades was something like "well, if you fiddle with this it might just work, if not try this, then that..." I was thinking you have got to be kidding me? Based on the really shoddy overall of that phone and their tech support while I used those handsets, I won't buy their phones ever again.
