I got mine from www.centralpoint.nl
As far as I know they only deliver the phones with SCCP
image. But as you can read in my previous mail this is no
problem, simply install chan_sccp.
If you want the phones to run SIP, you have to buy a license
for the SIP image. Centralpoint has them too.

Changing the phones to SIP is really easy. Simply edit the
lddefault.cfg so it will list the SIP image file.
Put the SIP image and the lddefault.cfg file on your tftp
server and every cisco rebooting will be converted to SIP.

Reverting this process is the same (I just did it 3 weeks
ago). Put the lddefault.cfg that states the SCCP image and
the SCCP image on the tftp server and reboot the phones.

I haven't tested the bigger cisco phones, but the 7905 has
totally no trouble when converting from SCCP to SIP and
viceversa.
