[cisco-voip] switching between calls on 7931?

[Lee]

Personally - I HATE them. :) after dealing with the 7900s.

The buttons stick and/or hard to press.  Call History is lacking in features
compared to 7900s.

I hear they are cheaper & they are more aesthetically pleasing to the
corporate company's eye.
