Can I provide another viewpoint here? I have a mobile handset and yeah, it’s pretty cool because I can use it anywhere, even though the durability and the speed and the reliability and the price are all questionable.

What’s on my desk at work? A polycom integrated with zoom. It’s absolutely awful. It lags. The quality is terrible. The interface is bad. Why isn’t there a landline in my desk at work? Well, because the technology improved.

ugh ya i hate that. and to me the worst part is maybe there is someone who would put up with that so they dont need a computer for zoom, but no where on the spec sheet or description of the product is there a way to know how responsive it is or how good the interface is. Sometimes by the time there is enough reviews to know what its like before you buy they have the next version and supposedly its faster but you dont know until its too late.
