I've replaced the Cisco 7960 on my desk with the colour SPA-962. It's about
half the buy price of the Cisco, takes less desk space, has more features,
and a vastly superior screen.

I'd like to second the SPA962 - I've deployed a couple of them now and
they're great, clients get a kick out of sticking the company logo in colour
on the screen and as of fw 5.1.15 the SPA932 sidecar supports asterisk for
BLF and speed dial.  They're also supposed to to support RSS for stock
ticker type scrollies but haven't played with this yet.

The only nasty thing I've found is that whenever the handsets resync they
reboot even if no settings have changed.  When this occurs anything
connected to the phones second Ethernet port will drop connection for a few
seconds.
