Uniden's top-secret DMX778 cordless phone

An anonymous tipster hooked us up with the skinny on Uniden's nex-gen cordless phone, the DMX778 (that's what it's supposed to be called, anyway). You know us, normally we wouldn't give a cordless phone the time of day—it's not like we'd actually have a line to use one with anyway—but we like how these things are really (and finally) starting to mimic cellphones; it's almost kind of cute. The DMZ778 operates on the 2.4GHz spectrum (we'd really be impressed if it was WiFi VoIP to one-up Vonage, but we're being realistic here), has a slider-style handset, calendar and programmable reminders, 4 handset expansion, handset to handset text messaging, speakerphone, push-to-talk (you know, walkie talkie style), and, of course, a digital answering machine. It should be out in the next two months, and could possibly garner some serious interest with our Vonage crowd, but otherwise we hope you'll excuse us if we have some reservations.
