Philips Handsfree kit for home.

Thinking of buying one of these (when they're back in stock):

Would be very handy when I'm stuck in a phone queue or talking to boring people who only need half my attention (only kidding), so I can get on with something else at the same time. Are there any better alternatives though?

    This says it's suitable for DECT phones - but my DECT cordless has a built in loudspeaker, so if in a queue (or talking to those who go on a bit :D - yep we've all got em!) I just take the phone with me and put the loudspeaker on. I've never had a problem yet :)
    For me, at £60 it looks like an expensive gadget! If you haven't got a DECT cordless, I'm sure you can get one cheaper than £60.

    Yes, it does seem a bit pricey. The only disadvantages with your suggestion are that you still have to have a hand free for the phone while you take it with you, and that everyone else around would have to hear the sound from the loudspeaker. Maybe it's what I shall do though.
