[MLB-WIRELESS] OT: SIP handsets

[Bryan Pliatsios]

Slightly off topic, but an area I know some of you have experience.

  I'll be slowly buying as many as 10 handsets over the next 6 months  
for a multi-site internal system - a glorified intercom between  
offices and factories in different suburbs. With no initial plan to  
replace the landlines with a VOIP provider and being that some sites  
are temporary, basic phones will do. If there are any glaring  
shortcomings of particular phones at the bottom end of the market I'd  
like to hear them, especially if those features are available in  
another phone just $10-20 more expensive.

Power over Ethernet would be a major selling point, but I don't know  
if that's even available anywhere under $200.

  I'd appreciate you recommendations for phones, suppliers and even  
forums/websites. Usually I stumble across good objective reference  
sites, but I'm having trouble sifting the quality information from  
the advertising hype in this situation.

  Thanks,
   Bryan
