[cisco-voip] 7832 vs 8832 vs 8831

[Pawlowski, Adam]

We've also used a Jabra Bluetooth speaker/mic combo with an 8851 and found it works for most smaller huddle spaces without too much trouble. They make larger variants of that - which, yes, they're several hundred dollars, but these conference sets can be pushing $1k USD. 

It would be cheaper to outfit a lot of smaller spaces with 8851 on a table, or, mounted nearby with the Bluetooth devices to augement.

The 8831 has bene okay other than the part where pressing "conf" to have a conference call sporadically fails. That bug was terminated and I gather Cisco/Revo aren't releasing new software for it. We haven't had much complaint with the external keypad - most of the users here came from the romulan starship polycom units where the just wrap all the cables around it and throw it in to a drawer until they need it. This works just fine until a cable breaks and the replacement parts are several hundred dollars as well.

Just my feedback.
