What SIP Hard Phones Do You Use?
-
With so many options in SIP VoIP handsets, what ones do you find to be best? My favourites have been the Snom 300 series and the Yealink T30G series. Those two are very affordable lines and rock solid. Easy to configure and no hidden costs. Worked with tons of them and they have been the best that I have dealt with.

I use the Yealink T38G for my office (4 whole phones). I like the Snom phones and the Yealink for the combinatino of quality and price. I am looking forward to the Snom 715 this week or next. It looks to be the best average user (with gigabit pass through) phone that will be available. -

I love Yealink T3X series for the general user (specifically the T32G). They are rock solid and super easy to setup with Elastix. The T38G are good too, and we have had success with the super elegant T46G also. -
I use a Yealink T22P. I've recently seen some settings with the Polycom phones and do not like the complexity of changing some things, but I have not personally used them to be certain. I do see a lot of Yealinks out and about.

Having that in the YL T38Gs that we often use is invaluable.

I agree, Polycom phones are excellent but too much effort for most setups. For a really large deployment I could see them making sense.

I just ordered a t48G. currently i use the 22p and a snom 821. sound quality on the snom is not the best, the yealink is a killer price/quality/value IMO.
-
I've done some larger scale (40+) Snom 800 series deployments and they were very problematic. Just no on par with their 300 series.

I have a Yealink VP530 video phone which is really awesome.... except it is flaky and it crashes all of the time. @minion-queen has one too, same issues. It is too bad as they are excellent video phones. Easy to use and really attractive. I am very hopeful that a future firmware update will fix things but, realistically, several updates have come out and none have addressed it. We have tried getting support and they weren't able to fix them. So much potential, though.

Indeed it does. Our executives like that.

ive got a client who would love the Bluetooth.

Yealink T20P here works great! Basic but all I need.
-
The Snom 715 I mentioned is not shipping yet, but it is basically the Snom 710 just with a gigabit pass through
http://www.snom.com/en/products/snom-advanced-line/snom-715/A Google Shopping search shows pre-order pricing at $98 from two sites.

@JaredBusch that is an awesome price!

Yes, I need to get a couple for testing, and if it pans out will be what my client buys for their new phone system.

I have a Yealink T38G now but until I got this one I was using a Snom 320. I did have a Snom 870 and it crashes or won't except incoming calls pretty consistently. The Yealink Video phone is nice but as SAM said it just doesn't work. In past jobs I have used Polycom's but I have to say that my favorite and the easiest to use is the T38G. Simple but has all the features I need.

That is why I have one on my desk also. But to roll out 35 phones to an entire office that does not need more than the ability to park a call, $150 per phone is a bit much.

gotta love free swag -
