Looking for some suggestions as I'm all out of ideas.
Customer currently has a Partner system in his home, with voice mail and a door phone, about 10 extensions. He would like to replace it with something that doesn't have keysets that look like something in an office, and they must be white. All the usual features: hold, MOH, intercom, transfer, VM, etc., and must be able to control the gate. Replacing the current keysets with the Euro keysets wasn't acceptable. So I'm looking for any ideas from the board here. I lean toward a Samsung system with iDCS keysets as the newer keysets look like something from a science fiction movie to me. But I plan to put together a sheet of keysets that work on systems that support the requirements and see if anything works for him.
First time I've had to pitch a system based more on style than function and price. In reality there is nothing wrong with what he has except it looks wrong.
Thanks!

We put Panasonics in homes, mostly because of their cordless phones with cell sites which can pretty much ensure them perfect cordless phone coverage throughout their house if cell sites are placed right.
They can integrate with gates, I'm sure any system can, we put alot of doorkings in with them, the gate can have a seperate ring tone.
Their phones do come in white. If you're not familiar with programming a Panasonic it could be a challenge. We put in Panasonic TDA's but you have to be certified, if your not certified the Panasonic taw848 would be the one.
KX-T7633/36's or kx-t7667 can go on a TDA system. KX-T7731/36's go on the TAW848 system.
The voice mail is a seperate unit, kx-tva50.

I don't know about the 10 cordless sets. But as far as coverage...the nec dsx's new dect cordless phones and repeaters should be fine.

Forgot about the cordless, he wanted at least two of those.
I've installed Panasonic in a few residences with gates and all that, NEC is an unknown to me but a new system under my belt is always a plus. Added to the list.
Thanks so far! I'm thinking the customer would be happier if the keysets looked more like WE 500s or even 302s (did they ever come in white?), the living room looks like a museum. Since this is an appearance driven bid I really have no idea where it's going to go. If I thought I could stuff an 18D into a WE 2500 I'd be working on it.
