The 480i does have a hold button, and also a transfer and Conference
button (so does the 9112i in fact...). It does not have a one-touch
voicemail pickup, which is accessed with something like
"Services-2-1-Select", but they are quite nice phones overall.

I have been unable to get hold of the 480i CT variant (Which I believe
adds DECT to the phone) to test it so I do not know how much it
differs from the 480i

I agree that it is worth getting one to try it out for your needs.
