I hear ya – softphones are definitely going to be part of the solution. I was hoping to find a simple Bluetooth cradle with handset so we could buy 1000 iPods and install Jabber on them and use those instead of phones.
But it seems they were all the rage a number of years ago, with no updated models. And none with keypads. *dream squashed* --- Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A. Senior Analyst, Network Infrastructure Computing and Communications Services (CCS) University of Guelph 519-824-4120 Ext 56354 [email protected] www.uoguelph.ca/ccs Room 037, Animal Science and Nutrition Building Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1 From: Ryan Huff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 01, 2017 3:45 PM To: Lelio Fulgenzi Cc: Matthew Loraditch; cisco-voip voyp list Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] Field Notice: Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 12.0(x) does not support some deprecated phone models - Cisco Lelio, give those users iPhones now .... greatest thing Apple ever did for the IT department is condition users for experience changes on devices whether they want it or not :).

I’m hoping we can continue with a “basic” model and an “advanced model” – with the advanced model having things people want (but don’t need?) like colour, GB connection, multi-lines, etc. I’m hoping the learning curve isn’t that bad as well – but there will be some learning curve that we need to plan for. The biggest issue? The have’s and have not’s. Even migrating a building at a time, people will see these new phones and all it takes is the right person to complain and our migration strategy is shot. ☹ Not looking forward to it. --- Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A. Senior Analyst, Network Infrastructure Computing and Communications Services (CCS) University of Guelph 519-824-4120 Ext 56354 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> www.uoguelph.ca/ccs<http://www.uoguelph.ca/ccs> Room 037, Animal Science and Nutrition Building Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1 From: Matthew Loraditch [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 01, 2017 3:27 PM To: Lelio Fulgenzi; cisco-voip voyp list Subject: RE: [cisco-voip] Field Notice: Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 12.0(x) does not support some deprecated phone models - Cisco Yes I am.

Without that, funding is diverted to things that need it. At least we’re seeing these deprecation notices a bit sooner (I think) so that helps.

The 40s and 60s were nearly indestructible tanks with many still running. Cisco maybe giving them a longer shelf life to make the CapEx burden for new handsets easier to spread by slowly transitioning those models. I wouldn't count on them being around forever or much longer though :).
