Phones with no cords but many options

Article Abstract:

A comparison of three cordless telephones, the Plantronics 900-megahertz CT10 cordless headset telephone, the Siemens 2.4-gigahertz Gigaset 2420 cordless phone and answering system and the Bang and Olufsen Telecom 2.4-GHz BeoCom 6000. The Plantronics is the best hands-free solution, but on the downside, works with only a single phone line, has a tiny keypad, and its battery falls off easily. The BeoCom 6000 has the best aesthetic design, excellent sound and range, but it is a single-line phone and is impractical for the home office. The Siemens Gigaset 2420 offered the best combination of design, features and practical convenience, with its two-line capacity, many features and security features that foil eavesdroppers.

Heading north to the wireless future

Article Abstract:

Ericsson and Nokie are developing then next generation of pocket sized communications devices for wireless Internet access. Japan and Scandinavian countries lead the world in use of cellular phones; these countries are seen as the test markets for this technology. The devices are based on a new communications standard, 3G, which transmits data at 2 mil bits per second. The industry hopes telecoms around the world will adopt the Universal Mobile Telephone System, and do away with the hodgepodge of different national standards.
