Stop the Press! Tim Snapped for German VoIP Publication.

We’ve brought you news of all the goings on at the Berlin Snom 870 launch party. Taking many pictures and videos to capture the party atmosphere, including the Venusbrass brand in celebration of this latest touch screen technology.

It looks like we weren’t the only ones who were snap happy 🙂 A German VoIP reseller magazine called ‘Dealers Only’ was also there to report on the goings on.

Have a look at Tim’s mug shot, taken during a gossip with Michael Knieling, Chairman at Snom Technology AG. My German isn’t the best but for those of you who can translate, the article should contain some interesting stuff!

Customise Your Snom VoIP Phone!

So it’s not enough that Snom VoIP phones are now available in both standard black and ‘Snow Edition’ white. We’ve had numerous requests for Snom phones in every colour of the spectrum!

For those of you who want to jazz up your Snom phones, you can customise it by designing your own ‘Snom Skin’.

The German website Design Skins gives you the option to create your own skin for any of the Snom 3xx or 8xx series phones. Choose from different colours, images and patterns provided or even upload your own image!

“DesignSkins are high quality and individually printed vinyl foils which are accurate to size and ready to use. DesignSkins by DeinDesign do have special air ducts on the adhesive side which make the skin easy to apply without any bubbles. The high-gloss and anti-abrasion-layer confirms a special protection from ugly scratches for your design and device.”

They easily peel off too, without leaving any residue or causing any damage to the phone.

How to:

  • Visit http://designskins.com/

  • Click on the ‘Custom Design’ tab at the top of the page

  • (You might want to set your language to English)

  • Select ‘specials’

  • Select ‘snom’

  • Choose the model of Snom phone you want to customise

  • Let your creativity take over!

Have a look at the video below for some Snom 820 examples:

Here it is. It’s what we’ve all been waiting for for some time now. Sure, it’s still infancy and yes, some features have not yet been implemented, but we proudly present the Snom community portal for the UK!

Here is a link for you, Snom.co.uk Community Portal.

Perhaps you have the urge to watch what fellow users of Snom phones are doing on their Snom screen? Who knows, you might. Anyway, we have a tool for that.

Maybe you are rather tech-savvy and have a cool Snom 8xx series phone? Thought you might, so here’s another tool for generating the idle screen to use on such a phone!

We really are too kind to you…

Any feedback, constructive criticism or whatever else? Please send to /dev/null just leave your comments below!

Snom – See What’s Happening on the Screen of a Remote Phone

<%ThickBox(http://ron.provu.co.uk/~paul/pauls_screen.png|Snom360 Screenshot)%>

This is a good one for checking the common issue where a customer has turned on Do-Not-Disturb without realising it or just seeing what’s on the screen in general.

I have also used it to demonstrate the phone in training sessions.

You can view the bitmap currently shown on the phone’s screen in a web browser by going to:

http://ip.addr.of.phone/screen.bmp

This works on all Snom phones (including the 800 series!) with version 7 firmware and up. It’s a static image but you can keep hitting refresh in your browser to update the image.
