Man, they are smart phones. They look the business. I installed one
within seconds, fantastic web configuration - much like the SPA3000 box.

Speakerphone sounds good, handset feels and sounds good.

I'll be using this heavily over the next couple of days, and I'll let
you all know how we find it.

And nearly half the price of a second-hand 7940 it's a real steal.

Too bad they have only one Ethernet port. I read on the review at
http://voipspeak.net/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=27 that the next 942 model will have a second Ethernet port and PoE support. Other than that it looks like quite a nice phone. Polycom's IP301 featureset beats the SPA941 on some points as it does have dual Ethernet ports and PoE support but it is limited to 2 lines. Anyone with first hand experience with both phones want to share their thoughts?
I have used both and at this point I would favor the 942. At least it has a speakerphone. Its display also has more useful info although I find it a bit darker but the text is sharper. Buttons on the Poly are better. Yes the 942 would be better if it had poe. i actually do not like running pc through phones, just a hangup of mine.
