    I can't give you a model, but have you considered getting one of those BT/Skype hybrid ones?

    Cool, I was looking to get a corded for the hallway with a cordless additional handset for upper floor. One of the problems with cordless dect is they don't hang up on the wall and I don't want to put up a small shelf.

    Only Binatone do it for under 50.

    Most of the dect I`ve had def do hang on the wall or at least their base unit or chargers do.
    Check on Scans products for the recon Philips ones, cheap as chips and do email etc as well.

    Got a couple of the Panasonic DECT ones, they work lovely and come with a belt clip so you can look cool when you walk over the road to the shop for some beer!
    Beer is life, life is good!

    No, no and no. Stop that nerd-tastic behaviour now. Wearing phones of any kind on a belt is definatly NOT cool. It's up there with bum bags, wearing very tight jeans, tshirts tucked into your trowsers, and sandles with white socks.

    In fact, it should be illegal
