BT has unveiled the BT Glide the UK’s first Bluetooth home phone, allowing you access to all your latest contacts on your phone as you enter your home.
Using Bluetooth,the Glide allows your landline handset to communicate with your mobile phone, headset, PDA, laptop or camera, so you can roam around your house and garden without having to carry additional handsets. You can also transfer contact details and updates quickly, so as soon as you enter your house, data from your mobile is synched onto the BT Glide.
In addition, the BT Glide allows you to send and receive text messages using T9 predictive text It also features full graphics colour display, illuminated display, 200 name & number directory (3 entries per name), including mobile SIM copy to directory, caller ID, 300 metre outdoor range and an answering machine. In addition, there's 5 games, 8 polyphonic ringtones, 15 handset ringer melodies, 5 wallpapers and rather strangely, "mood lighting", which can apparently adapt to any setting.
The BT Glide is available for £179.99

If they had launched this 10yrs ago Wow now as some one already has said whats the point. Mobile whilst out or calling mobiles, Skype for all other calls through a dect phone. This phone would be a complete waste of time for me. BT launched i think it was called Fusion which was a Motorola V3 and a modem router over BT that switched your phone to use your broadband connection once home but charged £10p.m. for the service, but haven't heard much of it since. Within 5 years the percentage of people using the internet for telephony is going to massive and a huge threat to conventional telecoms Company's.
