Agit8or, what new phones are you referring to? If you mean the 5xi series, they've been out for quite some time and there are plenty of specs and photos available at www.aastratelecom.com

Does this mean we will see no further firmware development for the 9133i? I purchased one in September with the hope of being able to create a XML script that would display the status (light on/off) of a specific function within Asterisk; will this never be possible?
That is very disapointing--I replaced a Linksys SPA942 with the 9133i as it seemed to be more configurable. If there is no further enhancements to the 9133i, I wonder if Aastra would be willing to offer some sort of trade-up program. I know this is not a good business model and that they are in no way required; however, it would make for some very happy, loyal customers!
I believe we should have the information on 9480i, 9480iCT and 9143i on the web next week. The industrial design is the same as the current classic range of phones: 480i, 480iCT and 9133i. However, they will use the 2.x software stream and have the features associated with 2.x stream.
The classic range of phones are still being manufactured and still supported. As you are probably aware some features cannot be implemented on the original classic phones (480i etc, release 1.4.x) due to processor/memory restrictions.
As for any promotions, I'm not too sure...I'm an engineer :-) the marketing folks will probably release any of that kind of info in the next week or 2.
