It\u2019s our job to tell you you\u2019re wrong. Let\u2019s take a look at a couple of <a title=\"VoIP phone\" href=\"\/voip-phones\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'VoIP phone');\">VoIP phone<\/a> models that will work great especially in your legal office setting.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>VoIP Desktop\u00a0Phones<\/h2>\n<p>The essential phone for office use is that of the desktop phone: simply a phone that you have ready to go near your workspace at any given moment. There are a number of VoIP phones that work well for this purpose, <a href=\"\/polycom-ip-650-poe\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'image2');\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-43533\" title=\"Polycom IP 650 Executive VoIP Phone\" src=\"\/blog\/voip-insider\/files\/2012\/02\/Polycom-IP-650.jpg\" alt=\"Polycom IP 650 Executive VoIP Phone\" width=\"139\" height=\"106\" \/><\/a>especially from the company <a title=\"Polycom\" href=\"\/manufacturer\/polycom\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'Polycom');\">Polycom<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a couple of their best desktop phones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/polycom-ip-650-poe\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'Polycom IP 650 Desktop');\"><strong>Polycom IP 650 Desktop<\/strong> <strong>VoIP Phone<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/ip-670-poe\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'Polycom IP 670 Desktop VoIP Phone');\"><strong>Polycom IP 670 Desktop VoIP Phone<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These phones, intended for an executive setting, come with a number of great features and advantages. For example, corporate directory access means any Polycom Soundpoint IP phone can connect to an LDAP compliant data store \u2013 including an MS Active Directoy \u2013 that contains all of your corporate contacts.<\/p>\n<p>This means you don\u2019t have to store the directory in a system separate from the phones; instead, the two systems can be united. In other words, setting up your VoIP phone system if you have a lot of contacts can be a breeze with these phones.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/ip-670-poe\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'image3');\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-43543\" title=\"Polycom IP 670 Executive VoIP Phone\" src=\"\/blog\/voip-insider\/files\/2012\/02\/Polycom-IP-670.jpg\" alt=\"Polycom IP 670 Executive VoIP Phone\" width=\"135\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Local Call Recording<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another feature of these phones is that of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.polycom.com\/products-services\/voice\/desktop-solutions\/soundpont-ip-series.html\">local call recording<\/a>.
