Sangoma releases line of IP phones
-
Sangoma, the company that is behind FreePBX now just released their own line of phones.
http://www.sangoma.com/products/phones/
At a glance, my first impression is that they look, physically, a lot like Yealink phones.
-
Um, yeah, enough to maybe be just a sticker.
-
Prices starting at $89.00 up to $229.00
Not a bad starting price.

Not that close, the button layouts are completely different on the bottom right. But I suspect they contracted the manufacture through Yealink.

Actually, it is a horrible breakdown in phone models.
There is nothing with gigabit pass-through for $100.
The S300 is $89 and is 10/100
The S500 is $149 and is 10/100/1000Nothing in between.
-
Sounds like the Yealink price range

Yealink has a $100 gigabit pass-through model though. The T42G
-
So @JaredBusch the question is where have you bought a brand new IP phone with 10/100/1000 for less than the asking price of these models?

You have to reply at the same time as me.... gah. Ignore my question.

If these handset are anything like the yeahlink handsets, they are to squat and suck to use!

Really? I liked my Yealink phone much better then the Cisco one sitting in front of me now. Much easier to use and much more comfortable to be on for long periods of time.

I like the look and feel of the Snom best, the Yealink are fine though. The Yealink are generally the better value.

The Yeahlink were way shallow. When trying to hold it with your shoulder I'd get a crick in my neck long before I would with a Mitel phone (what we had then and now).
Of course we could purchase and install neck savers on all of the phones, but those really just look bad.

Gotta have that up-sell!
Also for many cases 100mbit pass-through is fine. Limited future use cases but for today's average desk denizen it'll work a treat.
-
I don't even understand why phone manufacturers are making 10/100 phones anymore. Is it really that expensive to put in 2 gig NIC's? Someone explain. It's gotta be a sales tactic.
-
It is a sales tactic...
