From: Amazon Posted: Jan 29, 2008 Type: User Review Mac Leopard Compatible

I was hesitant to buy this product because I saw no direct reference to working with Leopard. When I received it, I couldn't get it to work, either. But today I upgraded to Skype version 2.7 (Beta) and it's working great. On the dialing dialog...

From: Amazon Posted: Dec 14, 2007 Type: User Review Great product!

This works great. I use it in my home office, but have also used it in a meeting room that is much larger than the specs say it is designed for. We had about 10 people, anywhere from 2' to 15' from the speakerphone, and it worked fine. The...

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 28, 2007 Type: User Review Works great, some quirks

The speaker isn't very loud, and the driver software has some quirks. But it's worth it for the natural conversation you can have when both ends of a skype call have one of these.

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 10, 2007 Type: User Review Mac Unfriendly

I am quite suprised that Amazon does not provide a warning in the product description that this device works only on a PC and is oriented towards XP specifically. Well, not only does it not work on the Mac OS, it will not run, as far as I can...

I used the Polycom Communicator on a trip to England, Germany, India, and Brazil. It (and Skype) gave great sound quality in both directions on conference calls from hotel rooms in all of those countries, modulo the occasional minor dropout in the...

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 13, 2007 Type: User Review Polycom communicator

The Polycom communicator is a well made unit, unfortunately the audio out was reported from all my Skype contacts as weak, I ended up holding the unit in my hand close to my mouth so that my contacts could hear me. Not much use as a hands free...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 28, 2007 Type: User Review Bait and Switch by Polycom

When I purchased this product, the Polycom website said that Mac support was coming mid 2007.

Mid 2007, the site was updated to say that Mac support would be coming late this year.

Now, the site says Mac support is not...

A number of people have claimed that this unit does not work with Vista. However, that is simply not correct. I have Vista Ultimate in Japanese, running an English language pack, and Skype which even more surprisingly is not yet fully compatible...
