* Let the customer test and decide himself
* Polycom: great speaker phone, but no built-in BLF
* Snom: poor speaker phone, many BLF buttons & more
* Configuration and flexibility is great with the SNOMs, if you like you 
can even stream video to a snom 370 or 820
* The snom 8xx firmware still has its quirks (not fully mature yet), so 
I'd say better stick with the 3xx series for the moment
