Before committing to about 50 of the spa942's, I like to take a last poll from those on the list to identify any negative issues that might be associated with the audio, functionality, early failures, etc, on the spa942. Expecting to deploy these using existing cat5 cabling and both rj45 jacks. Been using three of theme in a short term demo with the customer, but the demo systems has been purposefully configured with only basic telephony functions. Oh... someone mentioned the headset (no handset) pin jack is only for the microphone (and not the speaker) which would seem very odd. Anyone using a headset with the 942 where both the microphone and earpiece function fully? Any thoughts?

Our longest experience has been with 7960g phones although recently I switched to the 7970g for evaluation. Several of us have tried the SPA942's for about one month. Personally I was real happy to go back to a Cisco IP phone. The sound quality is useable but just not as good on the SPA942. And the speaker phone on the SPA942 is poor enough quality that it is barely usable. We include the SPA-942 in our side by side demos for prospective customers. So far they are buying Cisco and willing to pay the higher price. We only have four of the SPA-942's and have not seen any failures in our limited use.>Expecting to deploy these using existing cat5 cabling and both rj45 >jacks.
