IMO, the 480i, by a LONG shot.
The 480i is easier to use, looks nicer, has better audio quality, easier
to read, and has a great speakerphone. The web-interface is also
leagues better than the tripe the Polycom phones have.
The only issue I have with the 480i, is that it's a little unintuitive
in how to disable the "X missed calls" option. There's no option in the
web-interface (I'm told one is coming, however), so you have to manually
edit a .cfg file and send the info back to the phone.
Other than that, I have had zero problems with my 480i's, and nothing
but frustration with any of the Polycoms I have on hand.
HTH,

I need to provide a 80 people office with VOIP.
I want to commit to one vendor Polycom or Aastra. Price of the phones
is not a factor in the decision. The quality of the phones is the
factor.
Some of the features that I am evaluating on are: (arranged in order
of priority)
1. Sound quality
2. complete product line with conference phone and receptionist phone
(not on Aastra)
3. cordless (not on 501/430)
4. backlit LCD (not on 501/430)
5. Inbuilt POE (not on 501)
6. speaker phone
7. 2 network ports.
Which one will you choose ?
