Is tehre any word on if or when Skype functionality will exist with the phone?

@bronto98 @bronto98 No word on that feature yet. The latest firmware just came out with support for virtual BLF, social media sites and H.264 VGA and 4CIF resolution. Let me know if you need this document outlining these features and fixes.

you using pbxnsip for the backend ?

@ykasprzak For the actual video calling with the Grandstream phones, no we are using an Epygi PBX that we recommend. Let me know if you need any info on this. However, we can view video from some of our SIP surveillance cameras and the 2N video door phone using snom phones that are on PBXnSIP. The snom phones pull the jpeg streams from the devices via IP so you bypass the pbx. It's not a true video phone but it works very well! Let me know if you have any questions about this stuff.

Is there no PoE on the 3175? Hard to believe that they expect you to use a stylus.

@matthawaii There is PoE on the 3175. That and WiFi are standard which is a difference from the older 3140. I guess you don't need to use the stylus, I just use my finger for most things but it is much more accurate. We're selling these phones to VARs really well right now!

@matthawaii There is PoE in this phone, You don't have to use the stylus but it is nice that they give you this option. Some of the soft keys can get tough to hit with your finger if you're not careful!
