[cisco-voip] Phones-Life expectancy

[Paul]

Paging over the phones works *great* under CCME!

...which always bugged me why CCME could do it so well but not CCM. . .  *shrug*

Cisco is great compared to the Nortel System and a Siemens system I used to run. Much easier to manage, 
 
Now the Nortel junk system, when we replaced the Nortel phones of 25 and 32 years of usage. The Customers were dancing in the streets! All the functionality they gained! Why would you have one button for answering and another for hang-up? I asked this to the (NOW BANKRUPT) VP of sales for Nortel, his answer was “why would you want that functionality?” Nortel who?
 
So Now I have phones that are going to last ONLY 10 to 12 years instead of 25 years, but I have phones that have 100 times the functionality. To be honest I wish that they would only last 8, I want to refresh every 8 to 10 years.
 
The only complaint I have against Cisco is the paging over the phones………poor

cisco pat answer...... But your not talking about a phone any longer.... your talking about a computer that looks like a phone.  How long do you expect to get out of your desktop?  Can the old ROLM do xml / apps / etc? 
 
I'm not saying I agree...... but that's what cisco says.. ;-)

A Cisco product manager for the some of the phones said they design the phones to last 10-12 years of normal use.

All,
 
Anyone got any input into average life expectancy of the 79XX series of phones? 
We have had our 7960’s now for about 5 years and starting to see an upturn in the number of units experiencing failures of different types (and yes they are EOL).
Any input on newer models? 
I have been googling but did not find any info. I know environment/users have a lot to do with it. Just trying to get a “average” if possible.
 
Thanks
Mark
