Guys,
Im researching the best SIP IP Phone to use with SER. I like the Ciscos IP phones, the cheapest model being 7902G. Has anyone tested these phones with SER, or can recommend a good Hardware SIP IP Phone to be used in the office and in cafés. Thanks.

I believe that 7902G doesn't support SIP. The cheapest model with SIP is 7905G, it works like a charm with SER in our lab. Really sweet and very well designed phone.
Please note that by default it comes with Call Manager firmware, and it is not very easy to upgrade to SIP, as in default configuration it has web-interface locked out and the only way to change firmware to a SIP one is to use bootp+tftp server. Also, when ordering phone make sure to order 48V DC power supply for it, by default it comes without one, as it is designed to use power-over-ethernet available on Cisco Catalyst switches (unless of course you are planning to connect it to such switch).

I have 7905 and there are some pitfalls too. The phone can dial only numbers, handsfree works only one way -- you are able to hear the remote party but they will not hear you, and it is not possible to decline a call when somebody calls you.
I agree that Cisco phones in general are very well designed.

Greg,
I've used the 7960, and love it. Also the SNOM200 with the current firmware is very good. I have not had good luck with any other IP phones, although I hear the Mitel and Pingtel are very good (I've had no experience with them).
