Nearly perfect

I recently started a new business venture working out of my home and have utilized my cell phone as my business phone, which works great because I'm able to always keep it with me, but it's less than adequate as an office phone. I purchased the Polycom Voicestation 500 to convert my cell phone to an office phone while at home and it works great. It's very easy and reliable to connect and disconnect via Bluetooth and, while connected, the quality of the full-duplex speakerphone is superb. Additionally, I have the V500 connected to my home landline and can use that line as well whenever needed. And that's where the "nearly perfect" description comes in; I wish the V500 had a caller ID display. I get caller ID on my cell phone display, but when a call comes in on the landline I have to keep a cordless phone (with a caller ID display) to see who's calling. Other than that, the phone is very high quality and delivers on every claim and I would definitely recommend to others.

Works Better than expected, credit to polycom's focus

Was not sure the concept would work well , but we needed a flexible phone conf system for our small office.
Sound quality is brillant, and all the people on the office have synced there variety of phones ( it allows for mulitple phones to be pre-synced so you can just grab the unit anytime ) to the unit, so they can instantly make any call a a conference call.
We have Iphone 3G / 3GS and two very basic motorola GSM phones, and they all work perfectly with the unit.
The analog line input works well as a back up too, and it is mostly plugged into a vonage line , since it is very easily switchable to jump on a bluetooth connect after they have been paried ( a single button ).
Also the PC input has been usefull for use on skype calls.
It is truly the swiss army knife of conf phones, for the modern communicator.
The only negative is it is not rechargable, so it is tethered where as it works with all the cordless phones.

Not nearly as good as a full sized polycom

I purchased the Polycom Voicestation 500 in the hopes that I would be able to have hands free calling in my home office. Having used the full sized polycom phones ( Polycom SoundStation2 ) I had high hopes that this could be my main phone for conference calls.
Alas the sound pickup is simply not that good. Sitting 2 feet away speaking facing the phone I still get comments like "I can't quite hear you". The phone works better than say my iPhone speakerphone, but not nearly as well as the full size ones. In the end I ended up getting a Plantronics headset ( Plantronics CS-55 ) which worked much better.
Listening on the Voicestation is, on the other hand, great. You can hear everyone clearly and with plenty of volume. (It is quite clear at the lowest volume level, I sometimes wish I could turn it down more.)
The blue-tooth functionality worked fine for me. (Note some documentation implies that you can link a blue-tooth headset to the phone, you can not. Linking a phone worked fine. ) Be aware some others have had problems linking some phones (the droid). Check around before purchasing.
In the end, I use the Voicestation simply to dial out then switch to the plantronics headset to talk. Or to listen to conference calls where I do not need to talk much. Far less than what I expected to be able to do.
My advice, either spend the extra money to buy a full sized polycom or get a good quality headset.
