For our engineering staff we use Polycom SoundPoint IP 560's.  Cubes
with two drops for heavy users who have to be dual homed were build
without VoIP in mind (or an tech department at all for that matter)...
 I haven't run iperf through them, so I don't have any performance
statistics.  No one has complained except for our fiscal department,
the phones do come at a premium above the standard phones =).
