Now, a wifi handset is obviously going to be more convenient, but is it as reliable as a normal handset? Do you have any recommendations for a good wifi handset??

[Ispanico]

It depends largely on your setup. If you can get away with using a normal VoIP handset I would strongly suggest you do that, as they're usually cheaper and don't get interferences.

If, however, you need the convenience a Wifi handset provides, such as letting you walk around the room, get some documentation you need from another room, etc. I would recommend a Wifi handset. I wouldn't just buy a cheap one, though, if you're going to commit to Wifi handsets, I'd suggest buying a good one, such as the Linksys WIP300 or the Cisco 7920, both of them have good quality signal and should give you little to no trouble.

I think the best is meant to be a a normal hand set as it really does avoid those annoying interruptions. I think it is 90% dependant on your set up and needs. WiFi sets however need to be top of the range.

I think Normal handset is better.

I've found Wi-Fi phones to be very unreliable, you can however get DECT SIP Handsets. We have a few Yealink W52P and they work great. They cover all of our offices and a bit outside and you can get repeaters if you need more range.
