Close... The IP600s do support PoE directly.  According to the PolyCom
rep I spoke with, the new IP300s are shipping with the "accessory cable"
which supports PoE.  If that's true, then their brochure is right on.
You may wish to have the reseller you are working with contact PolyCom
and ask... That was the only way I was able to get in touch with
PolyCom, and the way I was assured I would have the cables.  If you're
interested, I can let you know when they come in if they were indeed in
the box.
