What you are after is on its way from BT. It's a mobile phone that

to DECT mode when inside the home and has a Bluetooth earpiece. I think
release is mid-summer though.

Hi Mike,

Isn't that what you could do with the Hutchinson phones (if you
remember back that far)?

All the best ..

You mean Rabbit ? Oh yes. One of my team's ICs was in the basestations.
But no Bluetooth back then so you still had to hold the phone to your ear.

I don't understand why it's taken 15 years for GSM mobiles to gain this
ability either. Not as though there's a technical limitation.
