It’s a desktop phone, really! But it sure does look like something from a Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movie, doesn’t it. I think it’s the screen monitor that made this stand out as it works it as the main console to operate everything in the unit.

It’s designed to make a family manage their connected life. In addition to the regular voice phone features it adds voice mail, contact list management, text messaging, calendar alerts and several monitors like for temperature, the weather and more. It works with any broadband provider, that’s a plus!

It’s a VOIP phone, so it will work wherever an internet wireless spot is around. Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of Verizon and Vodafone Group PLC, will sell the phone in its retail stores beginning Feb. 1. It costs $199 after a $50 rebate. Customers must sign a two-year contract with a monthly charge of $35.
