a new Poly CCX-700 OpenSIP phone appears, and after extensive updates from v7.1 to 9.x, it's ready for work.
also, yes. I have a SIP desk phone for Zoom, Teams, and regular calls.. at home. it also has a webcam. surprising, surely.
life has come to this because the usual computer based versions are so terribly unreliable and inconsistent that I cannot rely on any of them on Mac, Linux, browser based on FreeBSD, or even on Windows.
at least with the desk phone this is it's only role, that's all it does. I never wanted the modern design pattern: "this one device does everything marginally!" I don't like smartphones, I don't even want a touchscreen phone, and when I'm away from the phone I am unavailable on purpose.
