Cisco IP Phone 6800 Series

Overall Satisfaction with Cisco IP Phones

We needed a solution that does not rely on WiFi since we've had so many issues with WiFi phones in the past, especially from Cisco, including the 7825 and 8821 series. DECT is reliable and so we looked at the Cisco IP Phone 6825 and quality-wise it works fine for audio. It's being used in our department only.
  • Audio quality is solid
  • It is portable and has good distance capability
  • It's compact and easy to carry
  • Battery life is decent
  • Buttons could be designed better/larger/easier to find and press
  • More intuitive GUI; takes time to figure out how to navigate around
  • Webex registration process is terrible; this needs to be improved
  • Allows me to be more efficient
  • Allows me to be more mobile
It's less expensive, more compact but not as robust and well-adopted/supported since Spectralink kind of owns the industry. Cisco needs to make more of these lines of DECT phones in order to compete.

It's great for warehouse/shop floor situations or for mobile workers. It's great for home users as well so they can roam around without calls dropping. It's not as useful if you are a stationary knowledge worker.
