Re: [Astlinux-users] Cisco 8945 phones

[Michael Knill]

Hi thanks Lonnie

Yes they would be refurbished ones. The 8845/65 is out and will support Third 
Party Call Control next year.
Some people like video phones as you can see the non-verbals which 
interestingly is 2/3 of communication.

Hi Michael,

A supplier in the US ( http://www.ipphone-warehouse.com ) states:
"Cisco 8945 has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase. The 
suggested replacement is the Cisco 8845 IP Phone."

Another recently discontinued video phone is the Yealink VP530 Phone, kind of 
goofy looking, but can still be purchased ...

Though, I can't say I understand why your customer wants a video phone. :-)
