[cisco-voip] Phone equipment refresh?

[Scott Voll]

Lisa,

we found our selves in this same situation about 3 years ago.  we were
pretty much a 7961 environment (1200+ phones).  because we have multiple
sites we just came up with a refresh cycle.  for us, it was just 3 short
years.  Depending on your deployment, you might have to take longer.

We chose the 8861's as our replacement as they most similarly matched our
7961's but had a color screen and gig.  But it did come with some training
issues.  the physical buttons caused our users some issues.

for the younger users..... what is a Tape????  (VM button icon) LOL.  guess
I'm getting old.

YMMV

Scott
