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. --Brian On Mon, Sep 25, 2006 at 10:48:00AM -0400, Richard wrote: > > It's excellent home phone.
