Do I want to hold a transmitter that powerful against my head? Although I guess cell phones transmit further than that.

Is there still controversy about cell phones frying your brain, or has that been debunked now?

We have a four-station Panasonic that we use as a VOIP phone over OOMA, and it has been just fine, although I'm not too thrilled about a telephone that comes with a 64-page instruction manual just to operate it. Being a Luddite at heart, I just want something that rings once in a while so I can pick it up and talk to someone. I don't need a phone that is smarter than I am, not that that's all that hard...
