  >From a mechanical viewpoint, the 79xx phones are junk, IMHO.  We probably 
  RMA-replace 10% of our phone population every year,  almost all because of 
  switchhook and deskstand problems.  I've asked several times if we could buy 
  replacement parts and fix the common problems ourselves, but never received 
  any response; I suspect a local repair might complicate future RMAs.  A 
  while back I had to escalate an SR because the first engineer claimed we 
  were abusing our phones, but after I offered his supervisor a chance to 
  discuss the abuse with the 64-year-old lady who was the alleged abuser, he 
  declined and we've had no problems since.
