Re: [OT] any recommendations for a new house phone ?

On a similar note I have the Philips 841. I have had it for about 1

It looks good as well! Personally I think it looks better than the
Dualphone.

So I have the Philips as my only home phone. In fact I don't even have a
landline I use skype only and have a skype in subscription.
