Over half of the places I've called off of Google/Froogle that list the Polycom IP phones do not actually have them in stock, so don't just assume if you see it listed there you can get it.

Is it like a game?? Let's see who can be an ass first!!! "Someone asked a question that I can refer them to google for!! I better mash that reply button so I can be the cool guy!!!" It's ridiculous to point this user to Google for this question unless you are pointing him towards a previous thread on the mailing list in which case you should say so... Google -> Good source for Polycom site:lists.digium.com Otherwise, what this person is asking for is perfectly reasonable. He said a "good" place to find polycom phones, which indicates that he wants some feedback from the user community. (which if I'm not mistaken is what this list is for) If he had said "Where can I get the best possible price for polycom phones?" it would have been a different story as he can easily find that info on Google. But no, he asked for the advice of the community... ~c Message: 13 Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 12:52:22 -0500 (CDT) From: Steve Maroney <steve@stevenet.net> Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Where to buy POLYCOM phones?

Asterisk is not an approved platform. There is a group within Polycom who wants to make the phones available to resellers who can "self certify" and prove their worth, if you will. As a reseller who would *love* to be able to resell their phones, I would encourage anyone who thinks they have a superior product to lobby Polycom to allow resellers to self certify. This will help the Asterisk community greatly.
I bought mine from neutronexpress.com. Paid a little more then the voipsupply.com, cuz I didn't know about them... Good to see another place to purchase the phones... Got the firware from a poster on this list...

Either way. I've bought several devices from b2tech on ebay as well as several devices direct from voipsupply.com so it wouldn't sway me much if they were plugging their own company on this list, I already trust them. Never bought Polycom from them though, although I plan to in the near future. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Kristian Kielhofner Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 6:59 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Where to buy POLYCOM phones?
