Personally, I quite like the polycom phones such as the IP300 and IP600
I've never really bothered with the IP500...

They are pretty good as far as admin functionality (control based on FTP
files) as well as very functional (user side) and very good quality (low
fail rate, look/feel good, excellent audio, etc)

There are a few issues I have with them though, the main one being that
I can't disable call waiting on the phone. There are workarounds for
this though (in asterisk dialplan).

Just my 0.02c worth.

Regards,
Adam
