Huh? The IP301 can't really be considered a Speaker Phone, as it has no 
microphone whatsoever. Full Duplex, Half Duplex don't apply when you have 
one way audio and no Microphone.

The IP 500, 600, 501 and 601 have GREAT speakerphones, which far surpass 
the Cisco 7960 in quality and tonality. While Cisco may have licensed some 
technology from Polycom, their implementation of it pretty much sucks 
compared to the Soundpoint series.

The new Linksys SPA-941 looks like an updated Sipura SPA-841 in a weird, 
hybrid Cisco/Sipura case. You now have the Cisco coloring and such..

But... 

Sipura == Cisco now
Linksys == Cisco now

So.. who knows what is REALLY inside the thing? Maybe I'll get one, 
dissassmble it and post comparison pics against the Sipura SPA-841 and 
we'll see what is what..
