<div>Some of the Bugs of the 894x phones should be resolved with 9.2.3 coming this month, including custom backgrounds… </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>the 6945 is a pretty good phone, had also some bugs like delayed audio where you got 1-2 seconds dead air on a new call, but this is resolved in the newest firmwares. Biggest drawback is as Dennis mentioned the small display. Since the 6900s do not need
rollover with firmware > 9.2 they are otherwise great phones in my oppinion, IF you don't need a big screen, a builtin vpn client and stuff…</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I personally like the 694x phones, but hate the 894x phones with current firmware, but you get a lot of features with the 8945 phones like builtin video and bluetooth.</div>
<div>But watch out with the 694x and 894x phones – features like IPMA are still not supported! Better check with unified reporting if the features you need are supported with those phones.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would try to get my hands on the phones that match your budget and do a hands on test…</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>good luck!</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The 6900’s and the 8945 will have little caveats and painpoints that will drive you up the wall. I know the 8945’s are improving with new firmware releases, but still laggy interface, and no custom background.
The screen on the 6900’s is so limiting. I love the backlit color screens. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are planning to purchase 6945 phones for our 3500 employees since we have a lot of gigabit users. The 7945 gigabit phone are too costly for our budget. Our strategy is to go gigabit for all users.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do many of you have experience with these models? Are they working okay? Quality okay….<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve purchased one and tested it. It has more features than the 7911 we are currently using and it sustained 500Mb of traffic.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any feedback would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
