wireless
power cable
I have been lied to
I think what the other commenter was getting at is you can access a cellular connection (wireless) in a land line format
-
it would allow for the user to hold the “phone” part to their ear and dial on the touchpad like a traditional landline phone while being able to use wireless technology
Lol, that looped wire coming out of the handset means it's not wireless

the biggest advantage of this is that I can answer the call with wet/thick gloved hands. modern phones should have a dedicated answer key.

https://www.grandstream.com/products/ip-video-telephony/ip-video-phones-android/product/gxv3470 <-- that's something like this, if not the same? These are useful for those call centers where they can put the app that has all the forms + scripts the person on the phone are following, and they would not need any other technology at their desks.

I can hear the questions from grandma asking how to find the dial pad after she accidentally deletes it from the homescreen.
Other then that this reminds me of TV shows or moves that had video telephones in homes mounted on walls similar to this. You would make a call and their face would appear on the screen, you could even broadcast to all screen in the house.

I would love for this to be a dock for my phone and my desk.

If it connects the way I think it does, it would allow for the user to hold the “phone” part to their ear and dial on the touchpad like a traditional landline phone while being able to use wireless(*) technology.
The rest of the tablet apps are what make it not ideal, since its main use case seems to be the phone itself.
TL;DR: use like regular phone, other apps useless.
Edit: it would also make it simpler for grandma to make WhatsApp calls if she can hold the phone to her ear.
(*)2nd edit: “wireless” means non-landline, as in cellular.
4G capable "landline" phones have been a thing for ages and I see them every once in a while. No touch screen, just buttons like a traditional one

It'd be nice to set your mobile in one and have it connect to other units in a house to mimic landlines.

I'd this a real thing? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I am.

No thanks. I might accidentally slip onto that button and accept a call. And I never accept calls

most of the time I accept call when a friend is in some distress. or when one of the parties is in a position where texting isn't viable and it's something urgent.
and yes I like random misdialed calls or scam calls (I think my numbers are in scammers' blocklists lol). I always pick them :).

Hopefully soon. I'm not canceling this order.
