Different end points (phones devices) offer different hardware capabilities. Some phones have HD (High Definition) voice which provides better sound quality, some have wall mounts if that is important, some support POE (Power Over Ethernet) which reduces the wire clutter on your desk if your network can provides the power via the Ethernet cable. Other phones have an Ethernet Pass Through connector (a build in network switch) that enables you to connect your computer to the phone, and the phone to the wall so the phone and PC can use a single Ethernet Port . Price, display size and a different number of keys are also important factors when determining the right phone for you. See the table below to help you decide what your preference is.
