[cisco-voip] 79xx vs. 99xx

[Peter Slow]

We have a couple hundred 9971s and they work great for both voice and video. We're running the standard firmware that comes with 8.6.1.210011. (I can check tomorrow) 
I'll agree that theres a very significant "learning curve." they're also noticeably slower at times, but you sure can do a lot of stuff with them.

We recently deployed a large # of 9951/9971 phones, and encountered some pretty serious bugs(that dont have a fix/workaround yet).  Anybody else deploying these?  Are you having bugs in the Call Manager version you are running?  Other than the integrated video, what benefits do you see in them?. I have to say, after working on the 7900 series(sccp) for some time, with fairly rock solid performance, I am certainly not impressed with the 99xx phones.  I think they are particularly hard to use(compared to the 7900 phones) for someone with Cisco experience, and practically impossible for the average Joe. Maybe I am missing the big picture.  Has anyone seen exceptional benefits from using them? The decision to deploy these was above my head , and supposedly in part to the 7965's going end of life.  Is that true, or did we get suckered by our VAR(i couldnt find an EOL notice).
