Not in the near future, according to cisco :

www.cisco.com/go/3800 -> Product literature - Q&A

> With the introduction of these new platforms, what are the plans for the
current Cisco 3700?
A. There are no plans to End-of-Sale the Cisco 3700 for at least 18-24
months from the FCS date of these new platforms. Cisco is committed to
continue to develop new features for the Cisco 3700 Series through Cisco IOS
release 12.4T, with bug fix support through IOS 12.5 Mainline. Cisco IOS
timelines are still being defined- however this should enable new feature
development through the end of 2005.
Additionally, to promote the Cisco 3700 Series longevity, Cisco recently
raised the default SDRAM memory (and reduced add-on memory pricing) on the
of Cisco 3700 Series. These actions were taken to provide customers with
investment protection on their current platforms while allowing them to
evaluate these new chassis and transition at their own pace.
When Cisco decides to end-of-sale the Cisco 3700 Series, Cisco will provide
notice prior to the end-of-sale date along with support plans for the Cisco
3700 Series in accordance with Cisco's standard end-of-life policy.

Kind regards,

Koen.

do you think this means that Cisco will wind up "end of lifeing" the 3700
and 3500 series in the near future?

Hi guys,

Looks like the 1700, 2600XM, and 37xx routers are old stuff now,

Cisco is introducing 1800,2800 and 3800 routers.
Looks s*xy but I'm wondering how "cheap" they are going to be ;-)
