As title, trying to decide on a new entry level replacement phone so wondered what models you all use?

Most of our phones are either 7911 for standard users and 7962's for those needing anything special.
 
Same really. 7911 is the standard handset along with 7962s for UCXX and some manager/secretary type deployments. We also have some 7975s for the director level people (because the colour screen makes all the difference ;) )
 
It is a good combination but unfortunately the 7911 is end of sale and we are not keen on the 6900 series. It's going to a sad day when the 62's are end of life as we find the colour screens too fancy and unnecessary.
 
Would never install a Cisco phone ever, but then that might be because I am an Avaya IP Office engineer working for a company selling Avay IP Office :)
 
Our go live date is Monday next week :) I have weekend working to get it sorted.

Cool! I'd appreciate it if you could let me know of any issues you encounter, would be great to pre-empt any problems.

Ours is happening during the week 22nd+23rd July ... It's going to be fun :p

Just thought i'd post my thoughts on One Net after having it for a month.

It's ****. It sounds like a good idea but in practice it just went badly for us and has been a terrible experience so far.

-Cisco 514 and 525 phones are worse than our 8 year old 3com phones.
-Directory is unusable
-Ridiculous amount of calls get cut off
-Sure signals in the office for mobile users are very temperamental
-Vodafone service/support is horrible
-Miss-sold for our Germany office
-For the "Complete" users to benefit from the sequential ring pattern the caller has to wait for 15 seconds without it being answered before it forwards to mobile, by which time 90% of people would've hung up.
-Spelling mistakes and general laziness in the project management/implementation side of things.

I am looking to just go to Lync now and cut Vodafone loose.
