I emailed Linksys and Belkin to confirm that the SPA's had left the building; neither company would take ownership of the line. IMHO, Cisco is gonna hang on to the SPA phones, but that's just my opinion, no facts to back that up.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When we talk about modern SIP phones here at 2600hz, we really like the vvx polycoms and the yealinks (trying to get my hands on the 4x series of yealink handsets now). We try to be as agnostic as possible about the handsets, but there's a couple things
that I personally dislike about Cisco's (specifically their questionable SIP implementations and their somewhat bizarre security practices).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In short, a modern SIP phone is one that speaks SIP in an RFC compliant manner and plays nicely with most hardware. IMHO, and this is strictly personal opinion, the Cisco 79x0 series is not something I would include in this category.</div>
