so you're saying that the bluetooth transceiver built into the 8861 is not as good as the one you plug in?

However, if I stick the included Bluetooth dongle (BT600<http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/bt600>) into the side of my 8861 first, then pair with the dongle, the quality is pretty great. So, for whatever the reason for my experience, the 8861 cannot meet the high quality demands I have, on its own, without the dongle. This might be true for you folks looking to get the 510 as a speaker phone too. I.e., You should use it plugged into the phone via USB, instead of using Bluetooth. Maybe.

I haven't been thrilled with the 8831. Internal customers don't care for the form-factor and they haven't been as reliable as the 7937's for us.

The sets themselves sound pretty good on their own, but, something like the Jabra Speak 510 that is Bluetooth enabled would be a more cost effective option than the $900+ 8831 set (which still has an unresolved bug causing the Conf button to randomly fail anyways). It is obviously not explicitly called out as supported, but, anyone tried this and had any success? Or, any recommendation on a 3rd party conferencing phone that is more cost effective, even if not as capable, for a smaller (6 - 8 person) conference?
