If I recall correctly, there were different versions for the I20xx phones such as phase 1 or 2 etc.
I have found this old record relating to the Option xx range that might explain the differences in greater detail.
The IP Phone 200x Phase II Series adds enhancements including integrated support for power over Ethernet and full VLAN capability, support for improved call quality reporting, and increased security capabilities.
Changes from the Phase I series are hardware and phone-firmware based.
IP Phone 2002
The IP Phone 2002 was introduced with Phase 1
To distinguish between Phase 1 and Phase II IP Phone 2002 sets:
1. NT codes beginning with NTDU76xxxx are Phase 1 sets
2. Phase II IP Phone 2002 sets have NT codes with NTDU91xxxx
IP Phone 2004.
The IP Phone 2004 was introduced with Phase 0. Thus, customers could have Phase 0, Phase 1 or Phase II 2004 sets.
1. Phase 0 2004 IP Phone is identifiable as it has only one Ethernet jack
2.. Product Codes
a). NT codes beginning with NTEX00 or NT7B10AACH are Phase 0 sets.
b). NT codes beginning with NTDU82xx are Phase 1 2004 sets
c). Phase II IP Phone 2004’s have NT codes with NTDU92xxxx
Although Phase II sets (2004 and 2002) look like Phase I sets, they can be identified by the product codes on the label on the back of the set:

One of the key attributes of the new IP Phone 200x Phase 2 portfolio (2001, 2002, 2004) is
the integration of PoE powering within the set, eliminating the need for a PoE splitter. The
Phase 2 IP phones support a number of power over Ethernet options, including the standard
IEEE 802.3af powering, and some proprietary powering methods. The Phase 2 IP Phones
will continue to support the legacy pre-standard powering approach supported in the 200x
Phase 0/1 IP Phones.
