No, the SPA302 is not Compatible with the UC300 or UC500 (SBCS)

I know, I know – it’s featured on the Cisco SMB products homepage (seen below), it’s clearly listed as a 300-series SPA phone right next to the SPA301 and SPA303, but… unlike its siblings the “Cisco SPA302 Multi-Line DECT Handset” will not work with either the UC320W or the Cisco Smart Business Communications System (“SBCS”).  There are determined engineers out there who have duct-taped together a working integration but a) it’s a quite tedious and b) it’s not supported by Cisco...

Poll Results:  How Much Time do you Spend on Your Computer at Work?

Thanks to everyone who completed our poll this week.  We had a whopping 40 responses!  We found that our respondents spend an average of 7.85 hours on the computer each day, when we assume the 10+ hours/day crowd spends 12 hours on the computer.  The most common amount of time spent on the computer was 7-8 hours which lines up with the 7.85-hour average across the whole pool of respondents.
