class=978210904-22022008><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>We just installed a dozen of
the Polycom IP-330 phones. Initially out of the box I wasn't real sure about the
decision to use them. The phones are very small and don't seem to have very many
features. However in use they have been great. They don't waste a lot of desk
space, they don't overwhelm the users and they seem to provide adequate
information. They're easy to use and Polycom reliable. The speaker phone is
still really good though I'm not sure it is as good as the 501/601 phones. I
haven't really done a side by side comparison of that but I think the 501/601
has a better speaker phone. I can't see buying another GXP after using these.
The difference in price just isn't worth the
aggravation.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
