New Aastra IP phones attack both ends of the spectrum

This year Aastra has come out with some impressive new phones - the 6739i and the 6731i.

I will start by highlighting the 6731i - their latest budget model, which really packs a punch compared to the previous 53/51i models which where usable as nothing but kitchen or hallway phones - this new model actually has 8 custom programmable hardkeys - coming in at around $100, its a steal.






The 6739i is the new flagship, VIP, "Geek Delight", super executive set with a full color high definition touch screen display, bluetooth, USB, and even a builtin Gigabit switch.

Yes - I know, Cisco, Polycom and Snom all have similar models, but what they don't have is Aastra's powerful XML interface with dozens of pre-built applications, easy deployment and use - and some real bang for your buck at around $500.

And of course both models are compatible with Smpl PBX - our powerful Asterisk based phone system.

UPDATE - A couple of excellent videos reviewing the 6739i and HD voice are now on the tube:
