Any one know the status of the 460 switches

Hi group.
We are awaiting Nortel's new 460 Switch that is suppose to be out in the market by Mid December and the new feature of this switch is power over ethernet for our ip phones .
I just would like to know if this switch has QOS as the BPS2K and if there are any links that you can give me more insight on this switch.
Thanks

Yes it supports QOS. This is from the FAQ documentation

Based on the IETF Committee's industry standards, the BayStack 460-24T-PWR switch provides the ability to prioritize traffic based upon the required level of service for a given transaction. This level of service can be marked in the embedded information inside each IP packet's ToS field. DiffServ is based upon ToS field. The 460 SWitch has application=specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to enable DiffServ Code points can be mapped to 802.1p

These QOS policies can be configured with Web based management tools.

I hope this helps.
