Yes it's pretty handy for hacker camps. I still have one too. Especially because out on the camping fields the WiFi coverage can be hit and miss. This way you can even get calls when you walked to the toilet building or the car park.
Also it's got its own frequency so it's not cluttering the ones used for WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee etc.
I guess they could use an app or something but dect is rock stable and has much better range than WiFi.
I got a nice Siemens one that is about the size of a nokia 8210 so it's not like you have to carry a huge brick either. I guess the battery is pretty dead now though. But it is replaceable like all batteries of that time.
