Is there a 5304 on the horizon? 2

[cajuntank]

I was told by a reseller at the beginning of the year that Mitel was going to release a 5304 phone (basically a 5302 with a added display) later this year. Is there any credence to this?
Thanks.

 

[Mitelmatt]

yes, see it, looks ok. Based on Minet too!! Woo hoo!

It's programmable in release 9 software for a big Mitel customer, but general release is later this year

 

[TheMitelGuy]

This release has been postponed until February 2009.

Is there any publicly available info on this yet? Based on my vendor's info last year, I guessed at what their pricing would be for my budget this year to purchase them for the classrooms (about 100) I'll be migrating from Avaya.

Thanks.

 

[TheMitelGuy]

It doesn't even have a part number yet...

Cajuntank, why migrate ?
I would not even think about the 5302 so i would not even think about the 5404 for a while

don't put the two in the same class. The 5302 was based on sip so limited. The 5304 is based on minet, so a lot for featurs and reliable. I saw one working at Mitel last week an looks good.

You can programme them in r9 but not available generally till 9.1. Theyt were designed specifically for a v large cruise line

They look like the would be a nice phone for classrooms in the K-12 enviroment. right now we have lots and lots of analogs out there in classrooms. any one know what there gonna cost roughly?

 

[TheMitelGuy]

one billion, trillion dollars!

 

[TheMitelGuy]

Only joking.

Expect it to be less then what you pay for a 5212 today. That's about the best guess.

 

[cajuntank]

Well, I have till about February/March before I have to spend my money on the 3300's (capital expenditure), but I can go a month or so beyond that to buy the phones since they are "non-cap". Thanks guys for the info.

According to Mitel, "Ready to Order" as of November 15, 2008.

 

[TheMitelGuy]

WOW!

It hasn't even been released to BeaconRidge yet, so I'm impressed!

 

[cajuntank]

That's great... I was holding off, now I can get this started. Thanks.
