"Psi is a completely open source XMPP instant messaging client that uses Qt, an application development framework most notably involved in the development of applications and programs like Google Earth and Skype.

"Adium is a free multi-protocol instant messaging client for the Mac OS X. It supports an extensive list of the most popular IM networks, including AIM, Google Talk, Facebook, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Lotus Sametime, XMPP, and more.

"The WPU 7700 seems to be the preferred end point of choice for LG’s subscribers--they are selling like hotcakes! Over 1.44 million units have been sold as of December last year and we heard that LG plans on ordering hundreds of thousands more. As you may already know, when we do reviews like this, we look at things from a business perspective...It will certainly to interesting to see if the WPU 7700, a phone that’s clearly fantastic for the consumer market, will fare just as well in a corporate environment..."

"Korean vendor Unidata focuses on two main products, the WPU 7700 wifi phone and the far more interesting SQ 3000. We’re pretty sure the SQ 3000 is one of the first mobile wifi video ‘HD’ touch-screen phones on the market. Since the majority of our readers employ VoIP for business, we will be specifically looking at how the SQ 3000 would hold up in a business environment. The Unidata SQ 3000 is about the size and weight of an IPhone..."

"The Aastra 6730i is the new entry-level addition to Aastra’s line of 67xi SIP phones, which range from the 6730i to the new 6739i executive class IP phone. Since Aastra released its own wideband audio technology, Aastra’s ‘Hi-Q’, all models in the 67xi lineup allow users to experience wideband audio via the industry standard G.722 codec..."

"The Polycom 335 looks and feels almost exactly like the 331, but there are a few differences and upgrades here and there that we will get to in this review. The most significant improvement over the 331 is obviously the new “HD voice” label on the handset..."

"The Cisco SPA504G is a midrange business desktop phone with an extensive feature list considering that you can pick one up for under $150. The phone supports 4 lines, each of which can be registered to separate SIP addresses. It also includes a high-resolution backlit LCD display, a full-duplex speakerphone, and a feature that’s particularly exciting to us—G.722 wideband audio support...."

"Polycom has long since established itself as a leader in the industry and high-end devices like the 550 show why it deserves the attention. In short, this is a good phone. In fact, it’s a very good phone. The question is whether or not this phone is right for you, and if it’s worth spending that little bit extra for the added benefits. The Polycom Soundpoint IP 550 is a 4-line SIP phone that supports wideband audio, more commonly known as HD voice (G.722 codec)..."

"We recently got our hands on the Aastra Mobility Base Unit (MBU) 400, and a few of the Aastra 420d handsets that go along with it. The MBU 400 is a Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) solution designed especially for small businesses. If you or your employees ever need to be mobile while on the phone for whatever reason, then this might be what you’re looking for..."
