Mike is correct, and although the software components for the new phones are designed by Microsoft the hardware is Polycom's innovations around voice. So you get the best of both worlds. Solid integration and enduser functionality and Polycoms leading hardware innovations.Chris Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200178774058910421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158853543793456735.post-11097706155942367982010-08-16T12:53:42.793-07:002010-08-16T12:53:42.793-07:00Remember that the CX700 (aka Tanjay) was a phone d...Remember that the CX700 (aka Tanjay) was a phone designed by Microsoft and licensed to Polycom.

Although I don't completely agree with your comments the Tanjay as it was once known did have some design features that not everyone liked.

All of our senior execs hated the phone, and I have to say I hated it too - the speaker was located in front on the bottom of the phone where it picked up every imaginable desktop noise.
