asterisk users - Jan 2006 - Current viewpoints on the Sayson/Aastra 480i

I have read the user reports on the Aastra 480i SIP phones, but the last report
is from October, and the advice was to stay away from these units.  I was
looking at the cisco 79XX series or the SPA-941's, but they don't have
backlit displays.  I also like POE support so I don't have to run multiple
wires to the phones and makes for a neater look.  I dislike the looks of the
SNOM series, so that's out.

Have the bugs been worked out with the latest firmware, or are these still
phones to avoid.

thanks,
Mike

I've had the 480 CTi for about 6 months. It's a great phone. It
displaced a Polycom IP600 on my desk. The Polycom phone was also a
great phone, but the 480 CTi is a bit easier to configure & use...also
the cordless handsets are a big improvement over the Hitachi WIP5000
wifi phones that I have also used.
