[Asterisk-Users] Buying some Polycom IP300s

[Courtney Couch]

We have a majority of IP300's, and a few IP500's.  The IP300's are great 
phones if you need to simply drop in a bunch of VoIP phones quickly and 
cheaply.  The IP300's simply lack certain features like speakerphone 
that you may want.  Aside from that, its a great phone.
