The biggest issue with this that came up here during piloting with screen lock, is that a lock policy went into place during the pilot rollout. We'd been migrating test users with Plantronics headsets with the DA70, that has no buttons, and they found if they'd not been jiggling the computer mouse after a few minutes they can't answer their phone without logging back into the workstation.
The DA80 has the buttons so you can answer it, but you can't see who's calling anymore. I'd always hoped that there'd be a tie in to a lock screen widget so you could see something but, alas. There's not as much of a coordination between the need for lock policy, user training, system idle, smartcard/key/windows hello etc and it represents a change in workflow that is still not accepted by most users when it comes to "telephone" because they've been able to pick up and talk into the blower for years without any extra steps.
