<div dir="ltr">Nick,
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks this is exactly what I am looking for. Yealink seems to be the up and comer. How is their support? Their documentation and release notes look like a joke, so I am a little concerned. There doesn't seem to be much version tracking on bug fix numbering like Polycom is known for.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is there a reason to use the old Polycom IP line since the VVX series has replaced it? </div>
<div> </div>
</div>

<div>
<div>Quite the opposite. Software development of the older SoundPoint models has ceased. The VVX series are still undergoing active development, so they will be more supportable over time.</div>

<div>The Grandstream <span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12px">GXP2140 looks like one hell of a deal for under $100 including 24BLF keys, but it looks like it looks like it has a paper insert for the BLFs. In todays world with ever changing add moves drops do you really think paper labels are even a viable option? Seems like a nightmare to me. </span></span></div>

<div>In the following order.</div>
<div>1. Yealink, (T41P, T46G, T48G) Easy to configure. Easy to upgrade. Just works. No real bugs that I've found.</div>
<div>2. Polycom, (IP330, 550, 650..etc) Just works. Not as easy to configure. Has a few oddities. But once it's up. It's pretty solid.</div>
<div>3. Grandstream. (GXP2140) Haven't had much seat time with them. But they might unseat polycom from the number two spot. Easy to upgrade/configure like the yealink. Just stay away from the android based ones. I've had some real issues with those.</div>
<div>Used with Asterisk, Mostly in a hosted PBX environment. I really like the easy of using more advanced features in the yealink, Like multicast paging. BLF is super simple..etc.</div>
<div>I will say though. I've got two Polycom IP650's in use at a local pizza place. Phones have queues on them for when customers call in. And are really put through hell. Hundreds of calls a day. Absolutely covered in flour and pizza. (The phone handsets are physically shiny now it's been handled so much). And it just keeps chugging (knock on wood).</div>

<div dir="ltr">What is your favorite line of IP phones and why? What PBX or softswitch do you use these line of phones with?
<div>I would love to hear responses for both Hosted PBX applications, and On-Prem PBX applications. </div>
<div>Is there any reason or need to use non IP phones in todays environment? I know NEC, Avya, and others make multiple digital non SIP phone systems. </div>
