Your favorite Avaya phone?

I really like the 9611g, what about you guys? Past or present.

54XX series. Very solid.
Didn't go well with lifters because of the curved sides but like an apartment built of brick- a solid unit.

1 - 9608

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

9611/9608. The 11 gets because of the better quality screen, but the price difference would make me buy an 08!!

Looks nice, loads of programmable buttons, large screen, most important: no paper labels!!!!

I like the 9641G I have on my desk. It has lots of things I can break on it.

Now: 9611,
second place 9608.
In the Past, definately 8434: (on Definity)
or callmasterII for callcenter. (on definity)

I like the 96/9508, depending on station type.

My favorite was the 2050 ;-)
cant use them with anything above 3.0DT though

Analog. Never have problems with caller ID, no strange display issues, don't lock up, no firmware updates. Just dialtone.

In all seriousness, the 5400/5600s are my favorites, followed by 9608/9611. If it's self labelling I'mm good with it. Paper label phones suck.

I like the 9621G on my desk. Never had any issues with it. The 54xx series was solid. They looked funny, but worked great. I guess the 95xx series is a good replacement. The 14xx is just garbage. I'd like to get a 9641. I'd also love to find a place that will do a vinyl sticker to place on the phone to colorize it. I've played with the design tool, would be great to 'customize' these expensive phones. The charcoal/greyblack is dullll.

The 9611 blows away any other phone I've worked on, I've done a lot of Panasonic/NEC/ESI. It's a shame that they don't make a 96xx lower than the 9608. I got excited and saw documentation on a 9601 for the cheap clients only to learn it only works on the CM. They should have a 9604 and 9601 for IPO!

Definitely 9611g. Color screen so we can add impressive flashy screensavers, but still has enough appearance buttons to be useful. Would buy a 9616 if they made them! 9641 looks impressive, but not nearly as practical. Why they recommend these for high call volume/receptionists I don't know. The more appearance buttons the better. And screen labels next to the buttons just make sense.

The Avaya 8434 Digital Set hands down. Blue LED display with black background and a solid reliable phone. I first saw these at the service desk at Midwest Meijer stores in the late 1990's. Still not as awesome as Nortel M2616, but definitely my next favorite set.

I also have to agree with HSM 9641G and the reason is that I just love to walk in the door and have the bluetooth headset connect without me doing anything.
Solid voice and Gig speed ports and the ability to make buttons appear on 2 rows rather than scrolling helps enormously.
The touch screen is the only thing I don't really like about it but that is due to the size of my fingers

really like the 9611 for regular users and the 9650/SMB24's for receptionists. Soon to be 9611 + SMB24's I guess

My dream receptionist phone is a 9616 + SBM32's. LOL

Any of the Avaya T or M Series (formarly Nortel) - no annoying firmware downloads that take 10 minutes, if it works the first time at all, and then having to try multiple ports before the firmware will load correctly.

I do like the 9608 and 9630 though.

 

[amriddle01]

Unfortunately the world moved on from the 1980's so they have looked dated for some time now, even the 5400s look modern in comparison

...and for those calling Jesus on the porcelain telephone, Avaya CCC (Ceramic Close Coupled).

- Two non-programmable buttons
- Water cooled
- One-way speech
