[cisco-voip] 8945 Phones impressions

[Nathan Reeves]

Interested to know others impressions of the 8945 (make that 894X) phones.
Some things noted here from experience (some additonal notes on another guys
blog post here:http://ben.thepolzins.us/2011/06/22/cisco-894x/).

 - No custom backgrounds.
 - No customer ringtones
 - UI is slow to respond.
 - Services provisioning set to 'Both' causes the phone to only pick up the
external URL.  Still working on what's going on here.
 - No custom softkeys.
 - No 'Hold' on an active call, you have to Park the call.
 - Internal Web server will submit all variables in a script back to the
server.  79XX phones will only submit variables where data has been
entered.  Note that we found the same all variable submission issue on
SPA5XX phones as well.
 - Internal web server doesn't submit the browser type and version like the
79XX phones did.

All up, nice hardware (esp built in video), shame about the software.  The
above notes were made against the SCCP software.  Also found that there's no
specific line item in the Bug toolkit to search against the firmware on
these phones yet.
