The Firmware upgrade is totally different than the 7940 and 7960 upgrade. More a macro based set-bits and create a loadable module (I guess because there isn't enough memory or cycles on the phone. I use 7940, 7960 and 7912 and they all work great. The LCD on the 12 is smaller but the visual quality is better that the 60 or 40s.

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and Cisco 7905G or Cisco 7912G
I can't speak for the 7912G, but I have several 7905G phones and these work perfectly with Asterisk.
This is great! The 7905G is what I have in mind for a plain basic phone and the 7940 where a speaker phone is needed.
The firmware is easy to obtain if you have a Cisco support agreement - it's downloadable from CCO (the 7905G and 7912G have different firmware builds, but a similar configuration process - be aware of that).
Cisco support for the phones is certainly on the reasonable side, especially since it includes hardware replacement, not just software support.
Now all I need to find is a low-cost switch that supports PoE for Cisco phones. A 3550 for my home is very unreasonable, IMHO.
