| A great phone but maybe be not for the novice. | |
|  | I have owned my WIP330 for about six months now and I am very happy with it despite the quirks and problems it can raise.
Most people, just enter their local network login details, SIP details from their VOIP providers, switch it on and it just works. You may be one of those people.
However, some other users find the phone difficult to set up and a reasonable familiarity with networking and SIP protocols does make life easier if you enter all the details and it refuses to connect up. Sipgate and some other VOIP companies offer dedicated support for this device and that makes it much easier to get going.
It is certainly fussy over which router is used with it, as well as which radio channel is used. I have access to four routers and it connects up and stay connected to two of them with no problems, two of the others cause disconnects periodically, who knows why. The battery life is poor and nothing like the sixty hours claimed. Linksys support can best be described as... poor.
On the good side, call quality is superb, the phone looks uber cool, it can connect to hot spots requiring web based log ins - hotels, cafes etc - it is the only SIP phone on the market today that offers this. With a firmware downgrade (yes) or some tweaking it can connect to and use Skype; it can be used as a monitor for certain netcams and display live video, you can upload ringtones and desktop pictures, it has an excellent and comprehensive phone book and all these things can be accessed easily from your PC via your web browser. All the settings, network, SIP, phone book, ringtones, desktops can be back up to and restored from the PC. If you fancy browsing the web with a screen 2" by 1.5" then it can do that too.
So on balance if you are a reasonably techy person (or have access to one) and are looking for a wireless IP phone to use at public wifi hot spots as well as at home then there is no better phone available. I would not be without mine.
Oh yes, and the latest firmware upgrade now offers support for Wireless-N routers, I think that no other SIP phone offers this.
