[Asterisk-Users] polycom 301 phone advice

[Tim Pushor]

I second that motion. I have a 500, and recently picked up a 300 and 
wish I would have bought another 500 instead :-(

I felt that since I didn't need a speakerphone, the 300 would be fine. 
The phone itself is smaller, and the LCD really sucks in comparison. As 
for voice quality, they both are great - and even though there is no mic 
on the 300, there is still a speaker - so you can do things like check 
your voicemail and put the hanset in the cradle while on hold, etc (in 
this way, its even better than the lame speakerphones on cheap voip 
units - no echo can to get in the way).

Just my HO ;-)
