On the plus side the 4.0 UI has some less intrusive updating where you don't have to wait forever while the phone reboots. I know that's petty, but when you deal with Polycoms all day long having to wait 3+ minutes every time it reboots is annoying and counter-productive.

Regarding Yehavi's report, I really hope Polycom addresses those issues soon.

Hi,
 
  Stay with the latest version 3 if you use shared lines. Here are the problems I reported to Polycom and got no reply:
 
  • calls lists: when using shared lines  outgoing calls are put in the incoming calls lists, and ananswred outgoing calls go into missed calls.
  • When listenning to voicemail messages FS sends UPDATE packets with the information of the one who left the message. version 3 displayed name and number, version 4 displays only number.

    All,

    This is a bit off topic, but I know many of you use Polycom phones.
    I'm just wondering if you've all update to the 4.0.x firmwares, or if
    your holding out until lingering bugs get worked out.

    If you've updated, what features do you like? Is there anything that
    makes it worth upgrading?

    Thanks for your opinions!


    Gabe
