Works nicely for me. by Greg Broiles on amazon.com May 22, 2012
The review that gave this phone 1 star because of the PoE issue wasn't reasonable. To be clear - the phone does not come with a power adapter. You will need to buy one separately or use a PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector or switch to power the phone. ...
 
Amazing desktop SIP phones by z33k3r on newegg.com Mar 9, 2011
Always have loved these SPA phones. They stand the test of time and they seem to just get better every revision.
 
great phone by stephen on newegg.com Jul 9, 2010
If you care about voice quality and want a proper speaker phone, buy the SPA50X models. If you want the cheapest VOIP phone possible, get the SPA94X series.

Why would a phone powered by electricity come WITHOUT a power cord? by Veronica Hicks on amazon.com Apr 30, 2012
These phones do not include a power cord? I got it - and now I cannot connect it .. just adds a complication - now I have to find a power cord.
