Not correct - The Polycom SoundPoint IP 600 has 6 buttons on the upper left hand side that can be programmed for "particular extensions" and speed-dial entries. It also has the ability to support 6 lines, and has extensive directory support. And, strangely, ALL the buttons on the phone can be reprogrammed. Keep in mind this phone uses context-sensitive soft-keys, so it offers much more ability and functionality than can be seen in a low resolution photo on the web. It may suprise you to know that the soft-key implementation is very well done: intuitive, logical, efficient, and easy to use.
