Hi CornellRPG,
You would need at least a Smart switch, the GS308T comes with the same number of ports than the GS308E and it includes features like Auto-Voice VLAN and Voice VLAN.
You can find the datasheet on the link below for all the specificications:

Before evaluating and going out for shopping: Do you have a network environment - read: a router supporting multiple VLANs and IP subnetworks - for this project? There is no technology magic in a switch supporting voice VLAN. All it can do is automatically assign a VLAN ID eg. based on the MAC (of the phone), probably some more or less useful priority bits.
Said this: What your phone requires is a port with a tagged VLAN for the voice traffic and IP subnet, and typically one untagged for the normal network (Internet/LAN) subnet. The fanciest managed switch wont help on the essential requirements here.
