Test of SunComm WiFi SIP phone
A package came to the office with this SIP WiFi phone. This seemed interesting. After struggling a bit to configure it I managed to get it to work. It found that it was amazingly difficult to enter the correct information such as user names, proxy server and passwords via the GUI on the phone, even erasing characters was really difficult, I had to use the on/off button to erase, who came up with that idea?
The phone configuration website can be accessed via a computer on the same router as the phone is connected to. When I discovered that, configuring the device became much more straightforward.

Some features on the phone: phonebook, NAT traversal with STUN, Wireless mode is 802_11_b, WEP 128 bits cryptation, Voice Codecs G.711a, G.711u, G.729 and web interfaces for administrator and users.
So my opinion after using the phone a bit is that it is a nice WiFi phone, the stand-by time for the battery is far to low, I will last for a day before you have to charge it again, the phone does not come with a charging station so it is easy to forget to charge it. The sound quality is pretty good, and it is possible to set jitter buffers and voice frames per packet.

SIP Forum Phone Task Group
I have seen that SIP Forum has started a SIP phone task group. The group will "produce one or more SIP Forum recommendations that define a common set of implementation rules for SIP phone makers. " quote from the announcement of the task group.
I have great hopes that this will lead to the possibility to let customers have a greater choice of the SIP products they can use in their homes and at work. I hope it will also lead to more user friendly products that are easy to configure and extendable with new features. All this leading to happier customers and less calls to customer support.
