The Dock-N-Talk
Finally, a tech product that doesn't have an unpronounceable name like QIXO or PhOnE MrT or whatever. The Dock-N-Talk lets you doc your cellphone and use your land line to make cellular calls. It's also a universal charger and supports over 250 models.

Unfortunately in the SF Bay Area, I have the opposite problem. My cellphone never works in my house and I have to call my voice mail all the time to see if anyone called. Would love to dock my cell phone and have the calls route to my land line. Oh well.....

Cingular offered a docking station last October. Dock the cell and incoming cell calls went to the land line. And the call didn't count against cellular minutes.

But this feature is not currently listed on their website. Don't know what happened to it.



 
Actually Cingular still offers the service on a limited number of phones under the name "Fast Forward". It's not a bad idea.
Additionally this type of gadget has been around for 2-3 years, but it was always limited to a small group of cell phones. The price was about $200, I saw it on iGo as well as Hello Direct. I was hesitant because I break a phone or just choose to buy a new one every 10-12 months anyway and wouldn't want to buy a new $200 accessory every time as well, this Dock-n-Talk sounds like just the thing.
