        list.

        i noticed that a lot of VOIP phones have a double network
        interface
        allowing you to use only 1 LAN cable for both the phone and your
        desktop, a really nice feature that can save a lot of cable,
        but most
        are 10/100 connections while i have a gigabit network. Off
        course there
        are phones available with a Gigabit connection but these are
        at least 3
        to 4 times as expensive.

    In a pinch, the cheapest 1Gbit switch I could find is 17 Eur with
    5 ports.

    its not the network switch that i'm worried about, its the build
    in switch of the phones with the double network card

Sure. My point was just that IF you only got one connection in the wall, its cheaper to get a switch than getting a phone with dual 1Gbit ports.

OK, point taken.

but i have 6xisdn2 and already 2x24 gigabit switches (will need to replace one with a PoE version ) these connections include both desktops and current phones.

i was just hoping to cut back the amount of cabling with 50%, and when i found out that most phones with 10/100/1000 connection cost about 250,- euro's a piece instead of 90,- for a decent version with 10/100 it was a real bummer, it would mean about doubling my budget.
