Amazon.com Product Description
Putting an end to speakerphones that clip sound, the Polycom SoundPoint Pro SE-225 features full-duplex performance, so that everyone can both talk and listen simultaneously. This corporate-quality phone system offers two lines, caller ID (including call-waiting caller ID), and a 32-character LCD display. Use the handset, attach a headset, or press the rear microphone key to use the speakerphone with 360-degree sound coverage for groups.Customers looking for larger-scale conferencing systems will need to look elsewhere, but the SoundPoint Pro SE-225 competes well in its price point. Thanks to well-chosen features, such as Polycom voice technology for crisp reception, 99-number call-history directory, 20-number speed dial, and any-key dialing, this model works well for typical conference rooms. The Polycom SoundPoint Pro SE-225 comes with a one-year warranty.

 Very disappointing speakerphone August 1, 2010
Scott Lanin
I've had this for a long time and callers always tell me that they cannot hear me clearly on speakerphone. The company's reputation for a good speakerphone was actually the only reason I bought this phone for my home office - it has failed miserably. I have had to use the headset for all calls. Sound quality was fair. I am going to replace it. It was a waste of money for me.
 Great when it works July 22, 2010

Wonderful quality speakerphone when it works. I have not found anything to compare. However, my first phone failed after 2 weeks - it would not hang up the line. My replacement phone lasted less than a week - no dial tone. I've just requested a 2nd replacement; if it doesn't last I'll be looking for something else.
Great phone, Short life May 28, 2010

I have owned two Polycom SE-225s. I love the features and the clarity of the telephone. Both of the telephones I owned failed after six months. Buyer beware, the one year warranty begins when the manufacturer ships the device to a distributor, not from when the device is purchased. If you can find your sales receipt the company will adjust the warranty start otherwise there is a $35.00 support fee.
 Solid product, but don't set the bar too high December 4, 2009

I use this phone for my home office. Over the years, I've used everything from Panasonic to ATT to BT phones. Like many people, I knew Polycom because of their exceptional conferencing/speakerphone products. My criteria were price, quality and ease-of-use. I didn't need a lot of gee-whiz features. I've had phones with enough features and gadgetry to run the space station if you wanted, but all I ever did was use them to dial numbers and make phone calls. I do a lot of multi-tasking so being able to carry on a conversation on the speakerphone while working on the computer was absolutely necessary. I also didn't want something that felt like it was made out of cardboard.
The Polycom has delivered. The voice quality is excellent on both the handset and the speakerphone. Conversations are clear and free of phantom noise/echo. Yes, people can tell they're on a speakerphone but that's just physics at work. There is absolutely no way that moving air (with your voice) 2-4 feet from a microphone is going to sound the same as moving air inches from a microphone. If there is some way to focus sound waves like a laser beam at the microphone, I haven't found it. The LCD displays all the relevant information. The volume is adjustable in small increments, unlike many phones which seem to only have "silent" and "foghorn" levels...
Build quality is excellent. The paint and finish are very professional. Everythig feels solid, buttons are a good size and everything is clearly marked. The unit itself looks better in person than it does in the pictures.
No, this doesn't have anywhere near as many features as other $150-$200 phones. No digital answering system, no flashing LEDs, nothing. The money was spent on the sound hardware and the production (and of course Polycom's profits). So, as the title implies, it all depends on what you want from a phone. It's worked well enough for my purposes that I have bought 3 more units.
Could have been a contender November 10, 2009

When I bought this phone for a home office about 8 years ago it had the features I needed at an acceptable if relatively high price. True, the voice quality was a bit uneven. Voice seemed to be breaking up occasionally, sometimes a bit staticky. But the speaker phone feature was excellent and especially good for waiting on hold then talking with customer service, etc. Speaker tone was clear and loud. Unfortunately it had a recurring problem of keyboard failure that required plugging and unplugging. Best keyboard touch I've found in a landline phone, ergonomically superior to Panasonic, etc., but directory and caller ID interface is convoluted. Now it has developed loud buzzing noises and I've been quoted (by a third-party shop) about as much for a repair as a new unit costs. Like other landline phones, it should really have a backlight or other alternative for more legible display. The reliability of this phone does not match the price. It should have been developed and improved. I would not buy again, even though 8+ years of use might be acceptable to some people. I'd look for newer technology from other makers, unless speakerphone function is really paramount. Too bad, design and concept were unique and on the right track.
