Thanks Paul.

>From reading a bot more I think one other difference (apart from the
obvious VoIP bit) is the "screensaver" that the IP ones have. It
doesn't seem to be mentioned on the non-IP version. Also the messaging
& email status info.

Do you use the screensaver, and can it be customised to show your own data?

The sound quality is supposedly improved with these phones - did/do
you notice a difference?

Thanks again,

Tim.
