This cell dock is not for everybody. I've combed the new old stock, resale market and have enough older Motorola phones to last till the next great cell dock comes along. I never liked talking on cell phones. If you don't get the placement just right and you have ANY hearing loss, it can be very frustrating. As a child of the 60's, all that loud music (not to mention getting older) has made it difficult to have a comfortable conversation on my cell phone. I am also not of the "plugged in" generation. By the time I found my cell, the caller had gone to voice mail. After a while I stopped bothering to chase the call. Now I have phones all over the house, and have no trouble hearing the conversation. The one draw back might be that most of the phones this cell dock is compatable with are only phones. Yes, a few take pictures, and some text, but by and large they are only phones. Then again, that's what I use them for. Who knew you could put telephones all over the house and not have a land line. I love it! PATOB
