You either got a Polycom or you IP enabled an analog conference phone with a VoIP adapter.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few months this has changed. A number of new IP conference phones have hit the market, much to the delight of many of you.<\/p>\n<p>But with an influx of choice comes a bit of added complexity in purchasing the right IP conference phone. So in order to help you make better purchasing decisions, here&#8217;s a quick round-up of the top IP conference phones on the market today.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Best VoIP Conference Phones<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Polycom IP6000<\/strong> ($649.95) &#8211; It should come as no surprise that Polycom is at the top of the list. The Polycom IP6000 features Polycom&#8217;s stunning HD Voice,\u00a0 built-in Power over Ethernet, easy to read LCD screen and a full keypad. And yes, it&#8217;s SIP based.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ClearOne Max IP<\/strong> ($499.95) &#8211; From perennial runner-up ClearOne comes the MAX IP. While the MAX IP doesn&#8217;t boast the same HD quality calling experience as the IP6000, it&#8217;s got a recession <a href=\"\/maxip\">friendly price tag that resonates with small medium business customers<\/a> who value solid performance at an affordable price.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Polycom IP7000<\/strong> ($849.95) &#8211; If you&#8217;re looking to impress the chief executive or put the final touches on your already pimped out offices you&#8217;ll want the Polycom IP7000. Sporting an sleek upgraded design, a <a href=\"\/ip-7000-poe\">large LCD screen, Power over Ethernet and HD voice<\/a> the Polycom IP7000 is the cream of the conference phone crop (but it&#8217;s also the most expensive).<\/p>\n<p>Konftel 300IP ($764.15) &#8211; First spotted at the last Internet Telephony Expo, the 300IP is the first pure IP conference phone offering from the Swedish company. Sporting wideband voice quality thanks to their patented <a href=\"\/konftel-300ip\">OmniSound 2.0 technology the 300IP has many a customer talking<\/a>. With a pleasant design, Power over Ethernet and the ability to record conference calls the 300IP is a winner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>snom<\/strong> <strong>MeetingPoint<\/strong> ($799.00) &#8211; Look familiar? It should. The snom MeetingPoint is actually OEM&#8217;d by Konftel. Sporting <a href=\"\/snom-meetingpoint-ip-conference-phone\">the same features and benefits of the Konftel 300IP<\/a>, snom&#8217;s MeetingPoint is the perfect choice for snom fans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cisco<\/strong> <strong>CP-7937G<\/strong> ($899.95) &#8211; We couldn&#8217;t leave out Cisco fans. The Cisco CP-7937G delivers the same powerful feature set as the Polycom IP7000, but<a href=\"\/cp-7937g\"> utilizes Cisco&#8217;s proprietary SCCP protocol<\/a>.
