My “Go To” Lync Devices

I am constantly trying out new devices.  In fact, if I don’t have anywhere from 6-10 different devices within reach then it must be time to restock.  Even though I am constantly going through devices, I always rely on my favorites at the end of the day. 

When using Lync, you don’t have to be stuck with one device.  This is something that I preach all the time.  Devices are personal and scenarios dictate the use of different devices.  This post will list my “go to” devices and why/how I use each device.

Where: Office

This is one of my newest devices and I absolutely love it.  This device has some great advanced functionality (3-way pairing with desktop, cell phone, and PBX phone), but I only really use it with Lync.  The Savi 740 is DECT and allows me to roam my house, take out the trash, get another cup of coffee without worrying about range (300 feet) and also have confidence in the headset controls for answer/mute/volume.  I recommend this device for any office user that is constantly moving around.

Where: Office AND Backpack

I love this speakerphone so much that I have two of them.  This is my everyday speakerphone in my office and also my travel speakerphone.  It is a very simple device, with buttons to have complete control of the phone call on the device, and the profile is perfect for traveling.  It has outperformed all other Lync speakerphones that I have tried out.  You can’t have too many of these.

Where: Backpack

This used to be my office wireless headset as well, but I really needed DECT for the range.  Now I use this as my primary travel device and bluetooth device for my cell phone.  I actually posted a review on this device already.  I can’t say enough about it, it is so comfortable there is no issue wearing it all day and the quality is great.

Where: Backpack

This has been my go to wired headset for quite sometime.  I had a Blackwire 435 for exactly a week before I gave it away to a person in need (I do this quite often with my devices…spread the love).  The 435 looks great, but didn’t use it enough to give a review on it.  When wearing the Blackwire 420, you just feel like you are wearing a great quality headset.  The headset folds flat and comes with a great travel case.  Even with all the fancy wireless and IP devices out there, you should really should have a solid wired headset in your stash.

Where: Office

I can’t really say I use this device much, in fact a barely use IP phones at all.  I primarily keep this device around to have an IP phone to log into in order to test calls and logins to other environments that I am deploying.  Every once in a while I will take a real call on it, but it is mostly to have an IP phone around to run tests on.  The CX700 is great because it can be logged into with your domain credentials unlike other IP phone versions which requires tethering or PIN authentication.

What devices do you use?  I would love to hear about them!

  1. While this particular colorway of the new Under Armour Curry 3 was first revealed back in July, the model is scheduled Kobe 9 to release soon and officially dubbed, “Reign Water.”Essentially correlating with Stephen Curry’s game through the free-flowing nature of his Curry 2 movements and the fluidity of his shot splashing through the net, the sneaker is rendered in a vibrant color KD Shoes For Sale scheme of Neptune Green/Sable/Metallic Gold.

    The Nike Curry 3 Kyrie 2 model is just about finished with its time in the limelight. If you ask me, I’d say Curry 2.5 Kyrie’s second signature shoe did very well for itself, definitely no sophomore slump here. Before you get ready to NBA Store say adios to the Kyrie 2 and welcome in the Kyrie 3, Nike has at least once more big colorway to drop on the model. We just got word that a Nike Kyrie 2 What The is in the works and it’s slated to drop in December. Kobe 10 As of right now, no images or description of the shoe have been provided, but based on how the latest “What The” Nike creations have been, these could be fire or an epic fail. Either way, we can’t Chris Paul Shoes wait to see what they look like. As of right now, a tentative release date of December 12th has Kobe 6 been recently posted by international retailers. Excited?
    As most of you know, Kobe Bryant opted to skip college and Nike Zoom Kobe Icon went from high school straight to the NBA. Although that may be the case, he has mentioned several times LeBron zoom soldier 9 in the past that had he opted to take the college route, he would have gone to Duke University Kobe high top to become a Blue Devil. So once we heard that Duke, a Nike-sponsored school would be getting their own Curry Shoes Nike Kobe 11 Elite, it didn’t really surprise us one bit. Donning the school’s colorway, the shoe is done
