I've been using Broadvoice.com for a little over a year now.  I started
out with a Pulver WiSIP phone.  It ran Linux and worked splendidly.  I
loved it.  Then the speaker broke.  It was under warranty, so I sent it
in for replacement.  SOB's sent me a rebranded POS that sounds like
crap, keeps disconnecting, and is much less comfortable to use.

There are pictures of the POS at

So why am I still using Broadvoice?  SIP standards.   Their service
works (quite well) with GPhone, LinPhone, etc.  with little
configuration (you have to contact them for your sip password - the rest
of the settings are on their web site).

I also have an old standard Grandstream Budgetone.  Now that's a really
nice phone for the price.  It doesn't do a whole hell of a lot, but what
it does do it's rock solid with.  Now if I could only find the power
adapter to use it again... (odd voltage/amperage)...
