End of an era for the Snom 300

Today we have shipped our last ever Snom 300!

We first shipped the Snom 300 in the summer of 2006, which makes it our longest running IP phone. The Snom 300 has been extremely popular, over its lifetime we have supplied over 32,000 models to the channel.

We announced the end of life notice back in February this year but managed to secure a large stock quantity to ensure we could continue to supply the popular model for as long as possible.

The Snom 300 will now be replaced by the new D3 series of phones which includes the D305 and D315. These have a similar design to the Snom 300, but with a BLF indicator and an improved, larger display. The Snom D315 also includes Gigabit pass-through and a USB port which allows connection of the new D3 expansion console.

Our company accountant is still using their Snom 300, which has been going strong for over 10 years! We’d love to hear about your Snom 300 stories, do you have any that are still standing the test of time?

Snom Phone Security

We remind all snom phone customers about the security advice at http://wiki.snom.com/FAQ/How_do_I_secure_my_phone

In particular the advice to set an admin mode password on the phone. The web interface of the phone can be accessed using the admin mode password. The default of `0000` is not secure.

A http password alone is not enough to protect the web interface of the phone.

If an attacker can access the web interface of your phone, they can dial a call, which might result in fraudulent calls being made.
