Actually, once you know what you are doing, the IP500 and
other Polycoms are quite easy to configure.
You just setup an FTP server to serve your configs off
of.

We own some Polycom 500's and a bunch of
841's.
the 500 looks nicer, but its an abolute PAIN to
configure.
The 841 is simple, and does basically the same
thing.
One of the bigger headaches we have had stemmed from
putting the power phone users on the 500's. they aren't able to help the
other users as much because they don't have a 841. You can tell the
difference on the sound and speakerphone features. The polycom
speakerphone and mic are much much better. But it's just a phone and most
people have no idea what they are.
In fact, I had a technician in house last week and he asked
to use the phone. I pointed him to a SPA-841 and explained he was welcome
to use it and to make sure to hit Dial "like a cell phone" when he placed his
call. After he was done 20 minutes later I asked what he thought of the
phone. He asked why and I explained that it was a new VOIP phone and that
his call had gone across our network to the server and then out the phone
line. He said he'd had no idea and that he was really impressed with
it. I then spotted a phone I hadn't configured in the same area and
configured it in the space of about 5 minutes and when he asked to call again I
pointed to that phone and mentioned that it now worked just like the other one.
hehe.

phones and ATAs from Grandstream (BT101, GXP2000, 286, 488), SNOM (190), Zyxel
(Piece of Crap), Sipura (SPA-2000, SPA-841) and I personally feel that the
Sipura SPA-841 is the best value, good quality phone that I have used. I haven't
used the polycoms yet, but I plan to in the next few weeks.
