How would you describe The Destiny/Fate of Android Desk Phones?

    My vote is more of a "wish". I'm afraid they really will be DOA, but I actually want one. Here's why:

    I keep bluetooth on all the time on my Droid, or whatever phone I may get in the future. It auto pairs with a device that is connected to a set of 3 cordless phones in my home as soon as I get in the door. I drop my Droid in the dock and it essentially becomes my home phone. I can make/receive calls from any of the three handsets throughout my home and they go out/come in through my cell. The biggest problem is that I lose caller ID on any numbers I don't have in the home/desk phone's phonebook. Adding numbers to the phonebook one at a time is a pain, and the desk phone is limited to only 70 or so entries. I've tried home/desk phones with "import" features, but with very limited results. Their phonebooks are often poorly implemented, with each contact being allowed only one entry. A multi-handset home phone running Android I think would solve this. A simple export/import of my contacts and I'm sure syncing would be a snap.

    Another thing most likely to put on my LOSTAG (List Of S*** That Ain't Gonna Happen). :(
