[VoiceOps] What is your favorite line of IP Phones and Why?

[Kumudu Suriyaarachchi]

My vote goes to Polycom. Unlike cisco Polycom were designed for SIP.
Although the Sound Point range is not appealing to the eye the performance has been solid.
The models IP550 and IP650 are the favorites.
In the VVX range 500 and 600 are still maturing.
Broadsoft features are much easier to deploy on Polycom phones.
Provisioning is seamless if you are using Broadsoft DMS as well.

I gave up testing Yealink in 2011 because of their poor support.

the vvx400 is my goto phone. The 500 and 600 is only good if you do video. I like the 500 over the 600 for the cost. BUT I don't like finger prints on my screens... also, the logo is covered on idle in the 500 and 600 vs the 500 shows the company logos very nicely.

I have supported all manner of Polycom endpoints on Broadsoft, Asterisk, sipXecs, etc. They have always been solid phones, with only an occasional failure here and there.They feel solid and look unoffensive. I really like the VVX 500 and 600, the 400 is OK, the 300 not so much. I would love to develop some content or an app to take advantage of the touchscreen displays on the 500 and 600.

What is your favorite line of IP phones and why? What PBX or softswitch do you use these line of phones with?

I would love to hear responses for both Hosted PBX applications, and On-Prem PBX applications.

Is there any reason or need to use non IP phones in todays environment? I know NEC, Avya, and others make multiple digital non SIP phone systems.
