I’d love something like this that I could just dock my phone into when I get home, rather than needing a separate SIM. Especially if it had a nice receiver. Trying to actually talk on a cell phone is so much harder than it used to be when you could cradle the receiver in your shoulder.

- mplanchard 5y agoHa! I feel you, but it’s not tongue in cheek. I almost never use earbuds, and I hate holding my featureless glass slab up to my ear for extended periods. I long for the days of sitting with something actually designed to be held to my ear. Edit: it’s also part of a general desire to be more untethered from the phone. I wish I could have a classic phone + ringer experience that integrates with my smart phone, so I can just plug the phone in and forget about it once I’m home unless I get a call (for whatever reason my phone’s ringer is not loud enough to be heard throughout the house, and I feel like having something to dock it to would make it easier psychologically to not feel like I have to carry it around with me all the time).
