  We have several forum users asking about this. As soon as I find some information, I will post here and create a FAQ.

  Polycom has opened a beta test program for their speakerphone products.

  My understanding was that this was only for the CX100, essentially the same speakerphone they've had out for over a year for Skype, the C100.  It's a great device by the way - we've been using it to test OCS throughout the beta but it's essentially only a USB speakerphone which is application agnostic.

  The list of supported partners/hardware will be constantly changing and expanding. For now check out:

  Solid links but still doesn't answer the question of how people participating in the public beta can get access to the hardware.

   

  Sorry this is such a pet peeve of mine but I've been trying to find these devices for over a year since we were first briefed by Microsoft.  We were at Ignite for E12 but were not able to get into any programs for OCS even though we're looking at doing a 500 end-point global greenfield deployment and have been running LCS since it evolved from Exchange conferencing.

  We got our OCS optimized phones from a company called Vitelix (www.vitelix.com).  Their VX200 and VX200e is listed in Microsoft's announcement as an OCS optimized phone.  The VX200 from this company works decently and is the only OCS optimized phone we can get hold of from any vendor.  Sound quality is good.  About $100 per phone.  Be aware that the company is in Isreal so shipping time is going to be about a week to US.
