Hardware - Comments?

Hi there

I'm thinking about getting a 'true' IP phone. Looking at eBay found
this...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d..._PcY_BIN_W0_IT


Any comments? The seller is very helpful and there's a lot of good
feedback on the phones.

1. The blurb fails to mention how many simultaneous SIP-accounts you
can set up. Most IP-phones like Grandstream etc. have 4+. No-one can
settle for ONE more than a month or two:)

2. Also, hard to se whether the thinggy got a built-in switch or not.
No switch ? Then you have to have a multi-port router or a switch to
plug it in, alongside you computer.

Hi
the phones are good and work well, they a 10/10 not 10/100 and the firmware
is a bit bugy, worst bug is if you try to transfer call or push hold button,
phone crashes everytime and needs total reboot to work.
The guy is very friendly and helpful (although he said firmware would be
sorted out soon - weeks ago). they are very cheap and work quite well.
remember SNOM's (best sip phone IMHO) are £150.
hope this helps
Roy

I've always tried to avoid having feedback on my phone. :-)

Any suggestions of a decent SNOM phone then?

I see what you mean now. However, I wasn't aware that you needed to be
able to read the screen before answering a call, apologies for the
confusion.

Sorry could not help, butt in on this thread, I am the actual seller and
just wanted to mention that the call hold and transfer problem has been
fixed as listed in an email from another user on here.

Roy if your reading email is on the way...

1. It uses one SIP account at a time, I would disagree and say most phones
do only use
1 SIP account, higher end phones like Sipura and Grandstream do have
multiple lines but do cost more

2. This is the single port version, a two port version do exist, but there
is a price premium for this, which
most people do not usually want/need
