One leading downside, however, is the price. Not only is the Dock-N-Talk itself fairly expensive at $149.99 (for a hunk of plastic, no less), but you must fork over an additional $19.99 for a cell phone cable. And since the cables don't have universal connectors, you will need multiple cables if you own multiple cell phones. Alternatively, you can end a Bluetooth module to sync with your cell phone, which is a nice touch, but it will gallop you another $79.99.

• Unlike some other docking stations we've reviewed--the Motorola SD4500 and the RCA Cell Phone Docking System, for example--the Dock-N-Talk does not come with a landline phone

• Phones Labs will sell you its own cordless model for $119.99, but Dock-N-Talk is best for people who already have special on hand
• And Dock N Talk keep in cognizance that you don't desideratum an active landline connection in your internal to use Dock-N-Talk.
