Lee, Picking up the phone does not constitute 'making a call' Asterisk is unaware of any Sip events until the phone sends it. Usually the phone will not send Asterisk any information until it is ready to place the call (ie you have dialed enough numbers to make a match on your dialplan (local to the polycom) or you have entered a number or URI into the phone and hit send.)
The BLF will also show in use if the phone is ringing as Asterisk knows that there is a call GOING to the phone.... I hope this helps you out...
