<span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">This is true of almost any Bluetooth though, not exclusive to the 8800 phones. My old Jabra evolve could go up to halfway through my office on the dongle either in my 9971 or my PC, but directly
paired to my PC it barely went over 3 or 4 cubes down before starting to get choppy. I’m not sure if it’s because of (possibly) internal chipsets being lower powered, the antennae being badly routed (or increasing loss due to length) and/or loss by going through
the casing of the object itself. Either way, it’s always better to use a dedicated adapter, but in the immediate vicinity of your cubicle or a small office, its less of an issue.</span></p>

dongle (<a href="http://cp.mcafee.com/d/1jWVIi6wUSyMY-Yess7cCXCQkmnSkNMV4QsCQkmnSkNPPX9J55BZVYsY-Urhhsd79EVLuWdPp3lpmawECSHIdzrBPpdJnor6TbCXSgSVEVuvW_c8FELnhWZOWrbP_e6zBOXXzDkhjmKCHtxDBgY-F6lK1FJ4SMrLRQkNPaqqar1KVI04IvI9NH2lGsLztcmzl1KQY8jsLsTqlblbCqOmbAaJMJZ0kIToHMd9_7wqrhuphhdwLQzh0qmXiFqFsPmiNFtd40BaBGCy1VVZ4Qgr10Qg39XvPHmpcQg32TWl-9JwQsCYJ50GQ_WMd6S" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">BT600</a>)

phone too. I.e., You should use it plugged into the phone via USB, instead of using Bluetooth. Maybe.</span></p>

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>
