Archos 35 Smart Home Phone

 Archos' 35 Smart Home Phone is essentially exactly what it sounds like, a home phone intended for use as a landline that also imports numerous features from Android-based smartphones. These include Wi-Fi connectivity, any Android apps compatible with smartphones, traffic updates, and (720p HD) video calling that works with PCs or smartphones on the other end.

It has email and broswing capabilities as well as mp3 ringtones. The phone's design resembles an iPhone, with a 3.5" touchscreen that uses a virtual keyboard and keypad for input. The phone transmits wirelessly to its base using DECT technology, so it is compatible with any standard telephone line or ADSL phone connection. If desired, the phone's camera can be used remotely as a baby monitor or a surveillance camera. This phone has a high price point, but is of course substantially different from a typical wireless home phone.
