$DAYJOB sells phones as well as service, and most of the phones we sell
are Polycoms.  I have nothing bad to say about the phones themselves
and only a very few bad things to say about the company.

My experience is not that wide, but yes, the Polycoms are very nice
phones.  About the only further thing I might ask would be a headset.

My experience with them (Grandstreams) is that they are substantially
harder to provision (than Polycoms).  This could be more a difference
of what documentation we have (which may or may not reflect a
difference of documentation the companies make available) than a
technical difference between the phones, and it very well might not
matter to an individual end user anyway.
