[Ti] cordless phone recommendation [OT]

[John Griffin]

This really doesn’t have much to do with Powerbooks, but here goes  
anyway...

I recently set up a Uniden 5.8 Ghz system ELBT 595 and three  
accessory handsets (ELX 500). The reason I mention this to the group  
is that this is the first landline phone system sold in North America  
that has Bluetooth technology built in. You can therefore use a  
Bluetooth headset with these phones. You can also pair the base unit  
with a Cell phone so that you have the choice of placing any call  
through your landline or mobile phone from any extension in the house.

One downer is that it comes with Windows only software that lets you  
upload your contacts, wallpaper and ring tones from the computer via  
USB to the phone. There is no way you can do this with a Mac....ARGHH!

This technology doesn’t come cheap, however. But the cheapest price  
for these units I found at Qualcollmore4u.com based in Texas. These  
phones are simply great. The handsets look just like mobile flip  
phones and in many ways they operate in a similar manner.
