Mark,
I am not trying to hurt your business. The man asked for opinions. I am giving my opinion.
And you are correct that we are seeing mainly the earliest releases of the 83xx series and DX-80 series phones. I truly hope that the product has improved.
However, it is a fact that in all Comdial display phones previous to the 83xx series, we see a bad display mpdule in roughly 2%-3% of the phones sent in to us for repair. This number includes the, now ancient, 66xx and 67xx series display sets. In the 83xx and DX-80 series sets that we have recieved, roughly half of the displays are blown.
I can only give my opinion on what I have seen. As far as the newer releases go, none of us can know how they will hold up until they have been out there for a while. From what I am hearing from many of our customers that are, at least for now, Comdial dealers, the problems have not been fixed.
