We don't want to use an off the shelf 900MHz mostly because we have 8 lines coming into the building and it would be a real pain to "conference" an incoming call into line accessible on the handset as I think the biggest phone available has a 4 line max capacity. Also, the warehouse manager is typically mostly contacted by internal staff members, so taking up 2 lines to contact them doesn't sound too hot (1 outgoing, 1 for him to answer). Unless of course you are suggesting that there is someway to make a standard cordless phone an "extension" on OS 7200.
The QOS issue is not that big of a deal to us because we are only dealing with 1 user that for the most part will be talking to internal employees only. Secondly, the Cisco's APs can be VLANed and provide QOS to the wireless handset assuming it is 802.1p capable.
Despite being Cisco partners, we have no real "problem" with the Samsung equipment. The problem is moreso that our needs do not justify the cost of redeploying a new wireless network, yet we'd still like to be able to use the functionality if possible somehow.
Your last comment regarding the "Cisco" badge is interesting :-) as typically that comment refers to it being overpriced for what it does, nonetheless, the Samsung AP's actually cost a good bit more (street pricing wise, don't know the Samsung margins as we don't deal in Samsung).
cti,
Based on your info we are going to be ordering the phone. Did you basically simply leave everything unchanged in the Samsung config, like MMC xxx-xxx. Or did you need to set something to get the OS7200 to recognize the AP, so that MMCxxx's system ID changed to something other than WBS24?
