Agreed, they may be doing what others do, but to my mind it's a step backwards.<br /><br />2 - Dial/hangup positions. Again, take your point but I can't begin to imagine the complaints we'd get if we put this handset into a site with a hundred or so 3xx models!<br /><br />3 - BLF started to work perfectly after a reboot. I haven't been able to replicate the fault. You can assign BLFs to an identity exactly as per other models.<br /><br />4 - I have tested with Asterisk and also with my own ear. If I dial another phone and answer it immediately, I do hear a DTMF tone on that phone. None of the thousands of 3xx phones I control do this.<br /><br />I have also discovered another interesting bug with the 760 firmware. If an emergency services number is dialed (999, 911, 112 etc.), the phone displays 'emergency call' (or something like that) on the screen and then creates a SIP invite to '+999@my.pbx.com' (or +911, +112 etc.). Again, none of the 3xx phones do this. OK, so this is easily circumvented in the PBX dialplan (by removing the '+'), but this is just careless programming and just shouldn't happen in the first place.<br /><br />Continued use has also shown that key debouncing hasn't been implemented at all well. Quite often I will dial, for example, '5' and the phone will think I have dialled '55' or '555'. Having experimented, with firm, light and off-centre pushes and also having the good lady wife use it, I can say that it's definitely the phone!<br /><br />Anyway, distinctly unimpressed. Phone sent back.

I've just had a 1st impression so your experience is interesting.<br /><br />-PSU: that's interesting and nice surprise.<br /><br />-wireless headsets: we've been using snom 3xx for years without wireless headset adapter. Is it strickly nessesary?<br /><br />-1-tilt display: it seems vendors are moving away from tilt displays on phones like the snom 3xx had to tilting the entire phone. i can see your point that it would be nice to have more tilt positions, but i think snom is in the company of other vendors on this one.<br /><br />-2-dial/hangup posistions: the world moves forward and this was an effort to match mobile phones and other desk phone manufacturers. I would count this a move forward imho.<br /><br />-3-BLF with multiple identities: i may be wrong, but my understanding is that there is only 1 set of blf settings on snom 3xx phones as well. In other words: you provisiong the buttons/blf at the phone level.<br /><br />-4-have you tested this with pbx other than Asterisk? but if this is finicky it needs to be corrected.<br /><br />In summary, i would agree with the last point but the rest are less strong imho.<br /><br />Thanks!Matt Landishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397535269742889630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688688680584167129.post-34115494800229457052012-01-12T07:35:45.565-08:002012-01-12T07:35:45.565-08:00Just got one to have a play with.
Firstly, there ...Just got one to have a play with.<br /><br />Firstly, there was a PSU in the box - came as a surprise to me, but there it was...<br /><br />Secondly, it was listed on the Snom website as being compatible with the Wireless Headset Adapter. It isn't. Snom have now confirmed that it isn't. This means that the only sensible option for wireless headsets is now Bluetooth. OK for some, but if you want more range than the 10M Bluetooth promises, you're scuppered.<br /><br />I have found a few other things which I'm not happy about:<br /><br />1 - The stand permits two levels of tilt. The problem is that the LCD display isn't tiltable. If neither of the two tilt levels you can put the phone into are suitable to let you read the display, you have to raise or lower yourself every time you want to, just to get the viewing angle good enough to make everything visible. I ended up propping the stand up on a book to get more tilt out of it.<br /><br />2 - The tick and cross are swapped over when compared to the other Snom handsets. Basically, if you're used to using Snom handsets, you can't seamlessly shift to this phone.<br /><br />3 - BLF subscriptions don't work properly (firmware problem). I have several different registrations. I have several BLF subscriptions. Only the BLF subscriptions relating to the first registration actually work.<br /><br />4 - Weird things are happening when I dial. To try to work out what was happening, I set up a script on an Asterisk box which immediately answers a call and then reads DTMF. With the handset on-hook, if I dial, for example, 0123456789 and then press tick or take the handset off-hook, 0123456789 is dialed correctly, but when the script answers (be it immediately or after several seconds delay), '9' is sent in DTMF. It doesn't matter how long the dial string is, the last digit is always received as DTMF when the script answers the call.<br /><br />Basically, I'm not happy with the phone and we won't be recommending it to our customers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
