[cisco-voip] Phone equipment refresh?

[Carlo Calabrese]

We face the same problem, so we have been replacing a site at a time, so people don't get phone envy. I like the 7841 for staff and 8851 or 8861 for receptionist areas. If you have someone who is using wireless headsets, then look at the 8851. It has Bluetooth built in so you don't need to spend an extra $200 dollars on a headset unit or get the overprices cables.Also, on either one of these phones, make sure to update the firmware to a 12.X code. there is a problem with the 11.7 code where you get crackling between Cisco phones. (that was a fun one)
Good luck, we all feel your pain.

We will soon be able to provide Gig to desktop but our current phones will prevent us from doing so.  We  need to devise a plan and wondered what others do for their equipment.    The majority of phones we have are 7900 series.  They are working well for the most part so we replace as needed. We are concerned that the 7900 series may be eliminated from a future CUCM version and prevent us from upgrading.    Does anyone have a plan for a refresh on Cisco VoIP phones?    Do you lease or did you purchase?    We appreciate any information you can offer.    Thank you.
