Grandstream Budgetone 102

The Grandstream is a simple entry level phone into Voice over IP, the big chunky buttons to me look like a childs toy, I really wish I had paid more and got a better looking device.
Long term you need to keep rebooting the device in order to maintain its connection, I now use a Perl script to remotely reboot via a cronjob at 1:30am. All that said I have managed to get all features working successfully, including call transfers to my other VoIP devices on my Asterisk box.
The latest firmware seems to work a lot better too. But it lacks a phonebook, and cant dial a SIP URI.
Overall, not really what I was expecting, but for the price, its good value.
