Hey folks,
We are an office of about 70 employees, using a Samsung OS7400 system & iDCS 28D desk phones. Any recommendations on a wireless conference room phone that will work with our setup? Everything I'm reading online is pointing me towards the Polycom Soundstation2W, but I'd very much like to hear everyone's opinions & recommendations as well. Thanks in advance for your help!

I've used others but I don't know of anything better.
NOW, if you are trying to transfer calls to it there IS a problem. Samsung uses square wave ringing and Polycom looks for only sine wave.
If you are going to transfer a call to the polycom, you need a second analog phone plugged into the same jack. You answer with the second analog phone, turn on the polycom and hang up the second analog phone.
Now, don't believe me and see what happens when you try to hang up the Samsung phone that transfers the call to the polycom.

Im supprised that a big company like polycom only has a sine wave ringing model, when they distribute around the world.
We use sine wave ringing down here so we have a Ring Generator Unit that we have to put in the system to make the samsung do the sine wave.
They were notorious for breaking on the DCS and iDCS500 systems (same part), had to replace one the other night in a DCS.

Square wave ringing is an abomination. It's just plain Wrong.

Indeed. There is a Sine Wave ringing generator in the UK too.
However (and I'm not 100% sure on this) but with v4.60 there are new SLI cards that support CID and DTMF on the card itself. I also think the ring generator is now on the SLI card - i've not had chance to test if it's sine wave or square wave.
Can i suggest an alternaive to Polycom - look at Konftel. Absolutely superb product set.

I have been told the same thing about the new SLI cards (including the combo card) will now ALL have MW, DTMF receivers, and Ring Generation on them.
