Headset Cordless Phones?

PeteCool asks: "Lately my phone calls, mostly the technical ones, are getting longer and longer. The usual phone set isn't acceptable, and the 'shoulder trick' to hold the phone when using the keyboard isn't enough anymore. I've been looking in stores in the area for all-in-the-headset handless cordless phones - the ones with a little box wired to the headset that holds on your belt don't look comfortable at all - but I haven't found anything really great. I've found this all-in-one model from GN Netcom, but it's way too expensive for me. I'm certainly not the first one looking for that kind of phone. What have you guys found, what do you use, what do you recommend?"

Normal Cordless + Headset by bdahlem · 2002-01-10 21:52 · Score: 5, Insightful

I know you said you didn't like the cordlesses with a box and headset, but what about a normal cordless phone with a headset. Most Midrange 900 Mhz and 2.4 Ghz models allow you to plug in a headset that looks like the one you showed, and attach the handset to your belt or drop it into your pocket. This gives you the added bonus of not needing the headset for short calls, and being able to switch back and forth.
