New Internet-capable cordless phone

Looking for a cordless phone that has Internet access? Well look no further than the new LAN Cordless DUALphone from RTX. The phone was revealed at CeBIT, the world's largest telecommunications and digital information technology trade fair, which is currently underway in Hannover, Germany. This is how the press release from RTX describes the phone:

"The new LAN Cordless DUALphone is a session initiation protocol (SIP) device that combines a standard phone connection, Internet telephony and storage for Web content. The base station is connected both to the conventional telephone system and to the broadband Internet link, thereby allowing calls from both channels. The LAN Cordless DUALphone offers customers on-screen information such as the latest news, e-mail, stock market data, weather forecasts, traffic queues or sports results – all displayed in real time on a brilliant color display. Availability depends on the services provided by the carrier concerned."

Unfortunately, the phone will only be available in Europe, at least at first. To read the full press release about the RTX's LAN Cordless DUALphone, go here.
