Testing the PolyCom Speakerphone

PolyCom's new Communicator can change your whole Skype experience. Business or personal; the other parties are there in the room with you. You are more than hands free; you can move around the room. Best; no one knows you are on a speakerphone.

Phil Wolff covered the PolyCom story 3 weeks ago here.

Since then I have been putting the Communicator through some rigorous testing. I knew this would be a great product as I opened the box. Professional, high quality, stylish.

What do people I call think?

That's the critical test. My fellow testers have come to expect the same high standard I give them from my Plantronics DSP 400 headset. After 20 minutes into a video call with Peter Henning (Romania) stops and ask, "Wait a minute, where is your headset? What are you using, the sound quality is excellent?" I held up the Communicator to the web cam. The next day Peter ordered one. Another test with to Denmark yielded a "thumbs up" from Carlo.

When I need privacy, I simply plug a headset into the Communicator's right-hand side. When I travel, it takes up less space than my headset. The PolyCom Communicator is now my standard.
