Maybe you should read the post once again. My comment is ... The office phone is dead, not the office phone system. The reason I believe the office phone is dead is because desktop applications, things like One-X Portal from Avaya, Desktop Suite from NEC, Cisco ... are replacing the handset. That was the very reason for this post! Jeff Pierre: Thanks for your comment. Maybe you should read the post once again. My comment is … The office phone is dead, not the office phone system.

Your claim and to bunch the folks at Avaya into a bushell with the rest of them claiming we are all trying to sell over inflated, costly desktop devices "phones" is off course. Take a look at what we are touting on the IP Office platform for example refered to as productivity software "Office Worker" for starters. Take the most basic set (well under $100) and add "Office Worker" well under $100 and you get more feature/functionnality/ease of use than any high end desktop sets. Read on brother.. Dear Jeff,
