I really must make it to the US version of ECOMM in 2010. If only to hear Brough Turner in person. But for now, here's a session he did at ECOMM '09. I especially like his point that "If you…
The editors over at Small Net Builder just posted my review of the Polycom VVX-1500 Business Media Phone. I'd like to add a special thank you to Chris Veazey at BlinkMind for helping me to capture some sample video from…
...power that is. I'm such a sucker for a pun or inflammatory headline. The one area that the Sprint issued Mifi device leaves me wanting is in the battery life. If you are accustomed to wifi all the time then…
It’s no secret that I’ve been living with a couple of Polycom VVX-1500 Business Media Phones around my office for the past few months. My review of these devices will shortly run over at Small Net Builder.
This is one of the few times that 3000 words seemed like a problem. That is, I could use more space to get into more detail about the devices. Perhaps we’ll run a follow-up later on. That’d be great, presuming that I get to run a trial installation of the phones as I hope.
Anyway, Media Phones. It’s a whole new category. It’s like the iPhone for the home or office. That includes some other devices that I’ve shown interest in, like the Verizon HUB from Open Peak, and Glass from Cloud Telecomputers (pictured).
Analysts In-Stat have published a report on media phones. It’s free. Go fetch it. I’ll wait.
There's just way too much interesting gear out there for me to try all of it. That's at least part of the reason why I was happy to read Ruben's review of the Citel C-4100 IP phone. Back in May…
I wanted to be working on reviewing the Dreamwave SIP-D28p by now, but that effort has been delayed due to a firmware issue. The phone is powered-up and running. I’ve been able to use it a bit, exploring its firmware, web GUI, etc. It shows some promise. There are some nice features in the device.
However, I came to a screeching halt when I found that the phone doesn’t provide sidetone into the handset. This stopped me dead in my tracks. The lack of sidetone makes using any phone very unnatural. Thus I’ve not been able to put it on my desk and actually use it as my primary phone. That’s the process that forces me to gain enough experience with a device to write about it sensibly.
