I am all for fixed - mobile convergence but this is a wrong way if I have ever seen one. In my opinion DECT standard is far more superior to anything that hacked Bluetooth can offer. BT had a solution like that with specifically made Ericsson phone (GSM + DECT), hoever that product failed as BT had too complex billing and usage system.

One fixed mobile convergence service which is made well and it is actually working is Duet in Denmark. Simple (no extra hardware needed - evrything is handled in the network)

I predict that this service will be gone within a 12 - 18 months .]]>May 26th 2006 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/bt-launches-glide-bluetooth-home-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/bt-launches-glide-bluetooth-home-phone/May 26th 2006 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/bt-launches-glide-bluetooth-home-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/bt-launches-glide-bluetooth-home-phone/
"This is a transitory product, one of those ugly stepchildren that results from technology miscegneation."

miscegenation
: a mixture of races; especially : marriage, cohabitation, or sexual intercourse between a white person and a member of another race]]>May 26th 2006 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/bt-launches-glide-bluetooth-home-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/bt-launches-glide-bluetooth-home-phone/May 26th 2006 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/bt-launches-glide-bluetooth-home-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/bt-launches-glide-bluetooth-home-phone/
