In EU,  the parts for KX-TD816 / 1232 are definitive out. Only parts as
KX-T7533  phones are available.

Pana did a broadcast for aprox. ¾ year ago that  both types(parts for PBX´s)
are going out of production including parts  (even spareparts!)

Well, the reason is clear, they want us to sell the  TDA-products even for
the little customer who wants to extend with a extra  CO-line.

Well result is, Pana is loosing marketposition on this issue,  had several
customers who did buy another, cheaper product, as a direct  result of this.



When I spoke to a high level exec at pana last week he said that they have  a 
shortage of parts to make several of the older products i.e. 7400 series  
phones.  This is because the government is requiring not using the parts  with 
lead/Mercury pollution within 2 years and pana has met the deadline much  
sooner.  
 
They are required by law to make spare replacement parts and phones  
available for 7 years after a product is discontinued.  IF not they will be  
open for 
a class action lawsuit.  It's the law.
 
Now if they can only create a multi cell solution for the KX-TA824 ahead of  
schedule!
