Please redirect if I'm posting in the wrong place. Can anyone tell me which phone systems, if any, tend to come with integrated full duplex speakerphone phones? This is for the desktops, not for conferencing.
 
What range are you looking at.

Roughly.

xx02 range no
xx10 range yes

Having both speaker and a microphone isn't the definition of full-duplex. Both ends of the call being able to speak and hear at the same time is the definition. Try that with the current crop of 46/56 Avaya phones. [compare the 3.0 and 3.1 and later product descriptions for the subtle change from full-duplex speakerphones to two-way (but not at the same time) speakerphones] The T3's still claim to be true full-duplex but I've never played with them.
 
I have noticed that on my 5420. if i am on speaker and someone is talking they can not hear me untill they stop speaking. Pain in the A$$ when you talk to someone who never shuts up
 
The T3 are full duplex but they are ugly :-)

We have had several complaints about the true nature of the 54XX series full duplexisity. In brief, they do not have what most people consider full duplex which is the ability to talk and listen at the same time. With that being said, the speaker is very good and we probably have a complaint ratio of .001.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll take a look.
 
How can you talk and listen at the same time?
I think your phone can do it but your brains cannot.
Must be a fight on the phone to get that kind of situation.

Cheers.
 
Panasonic do. Depends of you want any good features on your system. Voicemail on the Pana is a bit of a pain.

I would put up with half duplex and get an Avaya

You'll notice that not that long ago Avaya carefully reworded their documentation on all two-way speakerphones and removed "full duplex".

The 1600 Series are listed as full-duplex in their brochures and they are coming to the IP Office this year. ?Does any one have any experience of them and the handsfree abilities.
 
Would be good to have one available. Customer expect handsfree to be full duplex even though we warn them when they call us asking for a handsfree phone.
