[asterisk-users] OT: Opinions on Aastra 480i CT?

[Brian Rogan]

I don't have experience using the 480i CT, only using the 9112i, so you
should take what I say with a grain of salt.

I have been nothing but impressed with this phone.  In terms of being
friendly with *, they dedicate a section of their manual to asterisk
configuration, which makes things go quite smoothly (not that the
configuration is particularly difficult: its a totally standard SIP
setup).

As for the "No hold, no one-touch voicemail," this isn't strictly true.
It has programmable soft-keys, and though I haven't experimented that
extensively with them, they can be configured to dial a line (i.e. your
voicemail), or "park" a call (i.e. hold).

There's also other cool features, like the ability to write custom menus
for the phone, that get called over HTTP.  All in all, my 9112i has been
pretty good (I had a few lockups, but none since I upgraded the
firmware), and I would say its definitely worth buying one to see if it
will work for your needs.
