HELLO & WELCOME

[WelshPaul]

WooHoo! The OBi1062 was finally made available to us UK customers via amazon.co.uk on the 14 January 2017 and is currently retailing at £149 (marked down from £249), eligible for FREE UK delivery and yea you guessed right, I purchased one!

It turns out that there are only two main differences between the OBi1032 unboxing I posted here back in September 2014 and those are:

1. The OBi1062 box came sealed.
2. A UK Power Supply was included with the OBi1062.

Upon closer inspection, I did notice that the seal had been broken and a new seal put in place. First thing that goes through my mind when I see this is oh no, a return being sold as new? Thankfully this was not a return, OBIHAI had clearly opened the box to place a UK Power Supply inside. I for one don't need one, I use power over Ethernet (POE) and would rather OBIHAI sold the UK Power Supply separately and reduce the overall price of the phone.

I can also tell you that the OBi1062 IP phone I purchased came with firmware version 5.0.0 (Build: 3131.1311) and although dialling " * * * 6 " promptly updated my OBi1062 to 5.0.4 (Build: 4003EX.1311) it didn't update the phone to the latest firmware which at the time of this unboxing is 5.0.4 (Build: 4027.1311). Any further dialling of " * * * 6 " results in "Software update not available" being played back to me.

Anyway, check out the rest of my unboxing photos below. If tempted, you can buy yours here.
