Should I prefer the G and why?

Related question, is the 7960 worth so much more than the 7940?  
Has only 4 more buttons that I can see.  Anything else under the 
hood that makes it worth that?

 

The 'G' is Global.  They redesigned the buttons on the right to be icons 
instead of the English words help/settings/messages/... so a template 
could be stuck over those keys in whatever local language.

I would imagine there might be some hardware updates as well, but it is 
essentially the same phone as the 7960.

Personally I have been buying used 7960 phones on eBay and I don't 
really see a reason to buy the 7940. :)

Don't know the answer to this one, I get the impression that it has a 
few minor hardware revisions.

The SIP code is the same for the two phones, as far as I can see the 
only difference is the 4 extra lines you can configure. I've got a 
couple of 7940 phones and one SNOM 100, I think I'll be sticking with 
the Cisco product as it seems to be more reliable and generally just 
works better.

HTH,

Jason
