Grandstream, and Polycom desktop models in the $130 range ( polycom 330 
w/ PoE and dual ethernet switch ) feel cheaper than SNOMs in the same range.

Grandstream has a superior web interface, Polycom has the worst, SNOM is 
adequate and worth the trade-off for phone quality.

Grandstream FXO ATA boxes are good for legacy analog (cordless) phones.  
Though I don't think they have any models that support PoE.  I'd 
appreciate a link to anybody who makes a good inexpensive one that does.

I assume if you have the budget that everything is wine and roses when 
you buy Cisco gear.  I've seen a few of their phones up close and they 
hands down blow everything else away.  But you may for the quality.
