[cisco-voip] 79xx vs. 99xx

[Matthew Loraditch]

I have one and love it. They do take a bit getting used to and can be a bit slower on response but now that most of the normal softkeys are available as softkeys in 8.6 things are getting better.  Also if you handle multiple calls a lot, handling multiple calls is easier with the separate buttons for calls on the right side.

Also as a partner, I can honestly say I am completely unaware of any EOL plans for the 7962/7965.  Now we are pretty small, so some multi-million dollar partners may have access to more hush-hush info but there is no information in any of the normal channels at the moment.

I've been using 9951 for a year or more and it has been fantastic.
Features aren't even a comparison.  Best of all has been the built-in bluetooth for the headset.  You'd have to pry it from my cold dead hands.
