Jabra Dial 520

Jabra have recently announced a few new products for Office Communicator – the M5390 headset and the Dial 520 OC handset.

I’ve managed to get my hands on the Dial 520 handset, and am happy to say that it is now my preferred device for softphone calling when in my “mobile office” (i.e. anywhere I’m working for >1 hour).  It’s a USB device is small and simple to use, and doesn’t require drivers (tested on Windows 7 and Vista).

“Optimised for Microsoft Office Communicator”

Nice and small

It automatically integrates with Office Communicator (e.g. dial buttons, answer/hang-up buttons, LCD display) and gives really good quality audio for such a simple device.

So with the GN9350 in my home-office, the BT530 on-the-road, and now the Dial 520 when semi-mobile, I’ve got a pretty good road-warrior setup for UC and collaboration.  (I’m not paid or sponsored by Jabra, I just like their hardware and it fully integrates with OC)
