Anyone know of a business class sip hard phone that includes a quality display capable of supporting "push" data (maybe Polycom?). Something like... VM: 3 msgs OurStock (1:43pm): 59.5 somewhere on the display that can be updated (pushed) from a server?

The Polycom IP600 (and IP500?) support it, though I have not worked directly with those units and the subscribe/notify syntax yet.
The Snom phone (220?) support it, and even have a nice operator console, so I'm very interested to see those ship Real Soon Now.
The Sayson (Aastra?) IP phones support it, but they're also vaporware until next month.
I saw the InterTel 8690 at VON, which I'm _certain_ supports it, but I think $1200 is a bit out of your budget range (though it is a VERY nice looking phone, even though it runs CE.) InterTel's other phones support it - models 8662 and 8620 probably will do what you want, but only with LEDs to say who's on the phone (no "big display" on those units.)
The Cisco 79xx phones don't support "push", which really is disappointing. It would be trivial to do (though it _must_ be authenticated!) and would be a big asset if they had a NOTIFY method that allowed an XML URL to be sent to the phone. I've beaten my head on the table enough about Cisco's crippled SIP features; I'm shortly going to start to experiment with and possibly move to other platforms if they prove stable enough. I'm a big fan of Cisco equipment, but they haven't kept up with other vendors in the SIP software department, and they've never kept up with "transparency" from a purchasing perspective.
