I received the new Yealink T46G voip phone a couple of days ago and have it up and running at a remote location via the phones built in OPENVPN back to my Asterisk server on a Pfsense router - firewall. I have also used the phone POE capability without issue. The new design is an interesting blend of old and new.
I feel comfortable recommending the phone based on my initial experience. The phone is very configurable much like the Aastra which I'm most familiar with. Other than a little confusion over some vpn.cnf file paths I feel they've done a very good job with documentation.
Audio quality, volume levels on handset and speaker are very good and adjustable. I wish it had configurable sidetone but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule with many brands and most users don't seem to care. (UPDATE: Sidetone can be turned on via config file, see below)
The color screen, menus and general functionality of the phone seem to be well thought out. There are PLENTY of soft-key slots available.
