I'd more or less agree with this - I've deployed dozens of GXP2000's.
(So-far only half a dozen GXP1200's) There does seem to be an issue with
old hardware though, but the current crop have been very stable under
1.1.6.16. Everything I've tried works - even BLF's. Downloading phone
books is a doddle and provisioning is easy with gsutil and a few bits I've
written myself.
I've yet to find anything that comes close, price wise, and right now,
price is what people (in the UK!) are whinging about...
