What are the best IP phones

I know there's a list of compatible phones but I'm interested in what phones people love and which ones to avoid.

I always lead with the Cisco 525G2 phones.   They have great capabilities and are stable. 


Have Blue tooth support and a color screen.


Thanks

POLYCOM are the way to go, amazing hi def audio, nice menus.  VVX series has color screens and GB switching built in.

Polycom but buy them from from voipsupply.com it is more cost effective. Plus the phones are not "locked" to RingCentral. So you can use them with a different provider in case you get cold feet.

They do have assisted provisioning if you purchase Polycom or Cisco. Provisioning is easy to do on your own, plus you can update the firmware on your own.

We went with Polycom, but mixed and matched based upon user's needs. Heavy phone users got VVX-410's. Light users got VVX-310's. And because of the environoment in the warehouse, they ended up getting a IP-321
