No consensus to move. I'm going to renominate to start a discussion on the three options raised in the discussion to see if there is consensus. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:24, 21 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

IP PhoneVoIP phone — Consider options raised above. --Vegaswikian (talk) 20:32, 21 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

The above discussion was opposed to the move as proposed but did bring up options for a 'better' name. These are VOIP telephone, VoIP telephone, VoIP phone or VOIP phone. I'm just nominating this as a new discussion as a part of closing this discussion and I'm not expressing an opinion as to which is best. Not sure how WP:CAPS will affect the discussion.

I think VoIP telephone and VoIP phone are the viable ones. It's always "VoIP". --Pnm (talk) 00:02, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Is this about PoE or VoIP?

edit

Why is this written from the view of justifying PoE? It seems like PoE is one of the least relevant components of a VoIP phone there is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.11.22.101 (talk) 23:55, 12 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Too Narrow A View Of The Subject

edit

This article appears to miss out on related names and methods. For instance, is a VOIP phone an IP phone? Is an IP phone an Ethernet phone? Is a USB phone the same or similar to the others? Does a USB phone have the same benefits as a PoE phone? Worse yet, any analog phone is a VOIP phone when plugged into an ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter). Further, there is a lack of clarity between software and hardware. I believe this can be handled far better than it is. We need some experts to chime in. --KitchM (talk) 01:40, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

@KitchM: If you can find some good sources, add them in and maybe someone will come along and use them to help towards making any improvements? Bungle (talkcontribs) 17:21, 4 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Incoherence

edit

Anyone new to this topic area would need a technology interpreter to translate the information into PSE. This incoherent description in a publication dedicated to readers seeking encyclopedic quality clarity is a major failure on the part of an encyclopedic resource.

It’s not that the authors don’t know their audience and purpose. It is pure self-centered laziness and disregard for the reader unfamiliar with the topic. Or, have technology based authors lost all regard for the reader seeking descriptions of topics in clear, familiar language that doesn’t require a consultant to comprehend and translate to the average person? How insensitive and self-centered that seems when you are authoring a description for an encyclopedic resource the general public can understand. 2603:9000:D10C:A054:FC80:8010:3CC8:7572 (talk) 19:31, 22 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
