Paul,

I'm using a D-Link DPH-C160S DECT Cordless phone.  I've had it for years
and it "just works".  It's great as a home phone as it didn't require
any special knowledge to be transferred to my non-tech-savvy partner due
to it's basic design.  Audio is toll quality.

They're old stock now, but you can still pick them up on evilBay for
around $50-60.

I'll keep an eye out for something current though and will speak up if I
see anything.

Jamie
