Cute little general review, but leaves me still wondering what might be MY least-cost best choice. I have a hearing problem, but find my hearing aid incompatible with ordinary telephones -- so must guess as to much of the conversation and sometimes can't hear the other party at all. So, I need a unit that could substitute for a regular telephone or be used interchangably with Skype; it should have a mini-jack to accommodate an earpiece when necessary; and (for frosting on the cake) would do well to be Bluetooth-enabled so as to send and receive ordinary local and long-distance phone calls over the Bluetooth radio built into my Prius (as I do currently with my Motorola RAZR cell phone). Can someone narrow down the options? Also, given that I must pay a phone carrier to supply my DSL internet, can the cost of that connection be minimized by means of any of the Skype phones?
