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).<br>
<br>
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?<br>
