Some things I like to have on my desk phone, that can not easily be
emulated with speed-dial buttons:

· Busy lamps, so I can see who is on the phone before I decide to 
  disturb them
· Multiple virtual line appearances
· Message waiting lamp
· Display that shows who is calling whom in my pickup group so I can
  decide which calls to grab
· Quick single button access to conferencing, transfer, and party drop
