Um, no.  Reception needs an 'at a glance' view of all extensions -- I don't 
think you've ever worked a switchboard or seen some of these people handle 
the call volumes they are used to.  Anything involving button presses or 
scrolling would be useless.

+2 points for trying, though.  :-)  

I am positive I saw add-on modules for Cisco phones to show line/extension 
status, though.
