[cisco-voip] Cisco 8851 and Bluetooth Speaker

[Ryan Ratliff (rratliff)]

The 8800s are the only bluetooth endpoints that support wideband audio.

I wouldn’t bother using bluetooth on anything else unless you are a g729 shop or in general don't care about audio quality.

We've been using the speak 510's for just this reason and they've worked out OK.. actually started using them with 8945's initially but bluetooth seems to work better on the 8800's, anecdotally.

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.

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?
