OnSIP reviews the Polycom VVX 500 Business Media Phone

Check out our review of Polycom's VVX 500, the new addition to the company's line of business media phones. The phone features a 3.5-inch TFT touchscreen display, a Webkit enabled full browser with support for HTML5 and Javascript, and of course, Polycom's own HD Voice technology for incredible audio quality.

Credit goes to industrial design firm White Box Design for successfully incorporating design elements from the brand's Soundpoint IP series into the phone's clean and updated look. The phone will feel both familiar and fresh to anyone who has ever used a Polycom before. Check out this case study on their work.

Completely Redoing a Website: VoIP Phone Reviews Overhaul

As you may already know, we allow our customers to use any standards based SIP phone with our service. They can bring the SIP phones they purchased for a previous service provider (assuming the provider didn’t put restrictions on those phones) or purchase them new from any vendor. We’ve never put limitations on our customers when it comes to the phones or the devices they use, but we’re well aware of the fact that some phones simply work better than others.

It’s important to us because—for a majority of our end users—phones are the only interface sitting between them and our service. If that interface doesn’t work well, or doesn’t do everything we advertise, then we look bad even if the root of the problem is completely out of our hands.

Completing Redoing a Website: The New OnSIP Site, Part 1

Maybe you've noticed something a little different about the look and feel of this website.

This week we unveiled our all-encompassing brand and site overhaul. We redid our logo, completely reworked and focused our site navigation, shortened up our signup process, and added some pretty neat features to our phone reviews. On top of all this, we implemented a clean design with custom, hand-drawn images that reflect our new brand. No stock photos of business people shaking hands here. That's just not us.

Needless to say, we're incredibly excited that we can finally portray who we are as a company. We couldn't have done it without our friends at andCulture. You may not know them by name, but they're the design shop behind the amazing GetSatisfaction website. Check them out at andculture.com.

Cisco Appeals Microsoft’s Skype Take-Over: Is This Really Necessary?

Back in May, Leo and I commented on Microsoft’s Skype purchase for $8.5 Billion. In summary, we speculated that this was a defensive move for Microsoft to stay competitive with Google and Apple in two industries: mobile and business communication applications. Funny - We didn’t consider what another, large player in the world of business telepresence might think of this acquisition: Cisco. Perhaps this is because Skype, the free application that we’ve been using to call our distant relatives, doesn’t conjure up images of multi-thousand dollar telepresence equipment, routers, and networking software. Apparently, though, Skype has been on Cisco’s mind as Cisco recently appealed to the European Union to intervene in this merger.
