The Polycom VVX1500 is the first-of-its-kind business media phone, combining advanced IP telephony with business-class video and integration with key business applications. Keith Nissen, principal analyst at In-Stat, 'the company's VVX1500 is the first business media phone that enables customers to work more efficiently and effectively than ever before by trying together voice and visual communication with critical business processes.'

By combining voice and video into a single personal device with an intuitive touch-screen interface, the VVX1500 simplifies communications whilst delivering a truly collaborative experience. The VVX1500 comes bundled with several applications including the Polycom Productivity Suite, which enables users to initiate and control audio conference calls right from the device's screen as well as record calls locally using a flash drive in the phone's USB port. The VVX1500 also features a free Web service called My Info Portal through which customers can select to receive content such as local weather reports and other personalized information on the screen when the device is not in a voice or video call.
