A Cell Socket for Other Phones?

edstromp asks: "So I just heard about this neat device that lets you plug your cellphone into your home phone(s): CellSocket by Global Garden Group is one, but it only works on Nokia 5100's and 6100's. I am trying to convince my wife that we don't need a land line anymore (we both have cellphones), and I really think this would be the ticket. When you are home you can drop your cell into the cradle, and then all your home phone's will ring instead of your cell when someone calls your cell phone. Has anyone used one, and does anyone know if there are similar devices for other cellphones?"

Sounds kinda neat. It's not for me because I use DSL, so I have to have local telephone service anyway, but it's an interesting idea. How's the quality? Is there a noticeable echo or lag? Does it sound like a regular land line or more like a digital cell phone call? Have you ever had any problems with calls dropping or failing to go through?

Thanks for any elaboration you can provide.

Yes you can forward calls. In fact all of the services that you can do, including that is done though a webpage on the site.

It is all pretty slick.
