Bluetooth Landline phones..

[Wildchild121007]

does anbody out there no if it is possible to buy a landline phone that u could dial like a mobile phone, possible through bluetooth?

That would be very handy walking round the house using your ipaq..

I believe that you can buy them at Staples (edit - at least in the US)

I asked about this about a year ago, but it seemed like there weren't any available. Does anyone know if there are now BT desk phones available?

There are a couple of phones implementing CTP (Cordless Telephony Profile). Have a look at www.blueunplugged.com to buy these.

Also some companies have a Bluetooth LAN AP/Router with ADSL connection and CTP. I'm doing some work with this at the moment...

Staples says this (http://www.staples.com/Catalog/Browse/Sku.asp?PageType=1&Sku=520798)..

I'm not sure thats what you want though, but i dunno I didnt really read the overview... It would be cool to use my 2215 instead of my cordless phone..

I won't pay $150 for it though.

This what Bluetooth Unplugged had to say about it. The more I read about it the more I have to say that it costs the same amount as a Bluetooth router and does more than one. I LIKE!!! A worthy tool for a reasonable price considering the technology involved.
