If you were looking at BudgeTones, you *might* want to look at the
GXP-2000. A little nicer, and if you shop around you can get them for a
decent price.

The Polycom is nice, but I have found that the only Polycom that seems
to do PoE correctly is the 601, which is definitely out of your sub-$100
price-range...
