We have started using the 510's and so far everyone who has them have given positive reviews.  I think we have 10 or so floating around so far.  Only negative I have is that the lack of volume.  I usually had it maxed out while using it.  It will only be adequate for small offices.  I did receive one that was bad out of the bunch.  There was something wrong with the Bluetooth range.  Can't go wrong with the price though.

Has anyone tried to use the Cisco 8851 and a Bluetooth speakerphone as sort of a poor man's conferencing set? 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?
