if you would read it I posted same thing happened to me, just call the number they supply on eBay page and order with live staff and pay with your paypal and likely you might get better deal then bidding anyway.

I got today my ten phones - set to English, hardware 1.0 firmware 0.2.50 and I don't seem to be able to get the WIFI going (LAN connects OK), the firmware is clearly bugged and it might be just luck to connect over WIFI
I am trying with WPA PSK and my AP uses 'WPA TKIP/AES' which I believe is compatible. When I scan WIFI APs I get told my WIFI is not enabled and it doesn't find any APs of course. Rebooting doesn't help, I tried to Enable LAN (which is the only way to disable WIFI) and then I re-Enable WIFI but still nothing.
Funny thing is if I go into Details I see there it found some MAC unknown to me and it shows some signal level -85db which is refreshed every ten seconds and fluctuates which means it is connected to something, however it can't scan for any WIFI network and on home display it has red cross where green bars of signal strength should be showing.
I did disable DHCP and put it on static but no luck either that way.
I guess the phone doesn't have browser configuration like Aastras have? It is pain to enter SSID and auth name and pass phrase from keypad unless you have some very simple and short one, I got ten phones and setting them all up will be chore.
The phone tries to download some software update but can't find server, I think it said something about configuration server... I take that to mean you can configure this phone from some *.cfg file on t*f*t*p like PIAF has?
The phone has place in setting where you can input 'server' address (Menu-Settings-System settings-Technical features-Download server address). It could perhaps be used to pull configuration to the phone from t*f*t*p or FTP on PIAF (t*f*t*p/FTP have Enable/Disable setting in the phone right in the 'Technical features' section). Anyone got to explore that?
-------------------------------
if it wasn't so funky setting up I might even order few more but as it is I will wait and see, I imagine this is the reason for these phones being sold off, don't see how you could sell this to the usual Nortel customer base, in fact they make themselves bad name selling these phones with bugged firmware and all support cut off except that you can download manuals, that plain sucks. Also as people reported, the power plug looses contact and the phone reboots if you attempt to move it around, you'd think nowadays things like these wouldn't happen. Also the buttons are not ideally placed on the phone face - the 4-way toggle should have been between those two display buttons (there is circle button inside that toggle which doesn't do anything but it feels like a switch when you press it.) But it does have nice sharp display and graphics for dialing and all that...
Now that you mention LG..this does look familiar

I wonder if we can get LGs firmware and run it.
