As more people ditch Dock N Talk their landline phones and transition to an exclusively cellular lifestyle, they may encounter a few problems. For in succession thing, cell phones are not getting any bigger (hello, Motorola Razr), and the tinier models aren't cushy to hold against your head for enduring conversations. What's more, you may not get a signal everywhere in your house or your office.

One extensive downside, however, is the price. Not only is the Dock-N-Talk itself sort of expensive at $149.99 (for a hunk of plastic, no less), but you must fork over an additional $19.99 for a cell phone cable. And since the cables don't have universal connectors, you will commitment multiple cables if you own multiple cell phones. Alternatively, you can account a Bluetooth module to sync with your cell phone, which is a nice touch, but it will break you another $79.99.
