AW: [asterisk-users] Snom or Cisco Phones?

[mail-lists]

I concur,
We run about 50 7960's and they work quite well. Sound quality is pretty 
good. Like Aaron said, unless you're running call manager you can't 
program soft keys, etc.  We're looking at going to a different phone 
that would give us some more customization options. Also.. Cisco's come 
with skinny firmware. You'd have to acquire the SIP firmware from 
somewhere. And NO cisco will NOT 'give' it to you

If you need some, I have some for sale! :) :)
