  They’re going to popularize handsets that look and function like old bell deskphones. Slide your cell phone inside the charger, and you can press buttons and use the handset via bluetooth.

    That’s existed since ~2005, at least for the handset part.

    Fucking hell, 40 for a plastic phone.

    Definitely not targeting some silly ticktock users.

        That’s Ooma, an ip phone service. You can do it for free with Google voice.

      That's like the "vintage" radios with fake plastic woodgrain and bluetooth/CD player built in.

        Honestly I wouldn’t even mind an old school looking radio with Bluetooth especially if they used the big center for a battery or something. But push buttons are antithesis to a rotary phone

    God damn the fucking garbage hipsters spend money on.

    It’s not like the planet is drowning in pointless plastic anyway.

    Further, classic copper networks are all almost gone, and will be going away, VOIP is the future, if they really want a land-line.

      If its real hipsters, wouldn’t they eschew any newly made products and instead seek vintage items out of antique stores? (Because stuff from the 80s and 90s is now antiques). So no net new plastic.

    Do ISPs "offer" them on a non-optional basis?
