We found the Polycom's easy enough to configure via the web interface....but softphones are even better for testing as they don't cost money.

Unfortunately, the polycom phone was a bad choice from a beginner's perspective, as it loads it's firmware/config from a boot server every time it's powered up, and won't work without it.
 
Get a softphone (firefly, xten) running on a PC first (to ensure that your asterisk is OK).
 
Take your Polycom back to the shop, and get a cheap-ass Grandstream Budgetone.
