Hands-on with Panasonic's Link to Cell KX-TH1211

Panasonic's Link to Cell KX-TH1211 is quite the interesting piece. Hailed as a "mobile phone accessory that seamlessly connects a Bluetooth enabled cell phone to cordless handsets in the home," this device simply enables users to make and receive cell calls from a home-based phone. Panny talks up its ability to preserve battery life and offer up "better reception," but the real heat comes from the included talking caller ID. Additionally, the Link to Cell is expandable to up to six handsets, and if you've just got to have this little gem, you can snag it in two months for $99.95. Another pic awaits you after the jump.

it can be linked up with 2 different cell phones, and even has different ringers for each cell.

This is no different, maybe fancier, then what uniden came out with a few years back, which I use with my phone at home, and it works great, as long as the cell phone has a good bluetooth profile, it does support caller id, expandable, the whole 9 yards, works great. Now what would be interesting, if the panny supported 2 bluetooth connections simultaneously, or a bluetooth & landline at the same time. A step beyond call waiting, allowing other headsets recieve a call while one the headsets is tied up. Now that would be a great product, that and sync with outlook, via a usb cable, and storing the contacts on the base, that will auto update the headsets...now were talking. Here's the uniden I'm talking about.

So this is like the intellitouch xlink, only you have to use panasonic's phones instead of any phone you want? (to the above poster, the xlink supports 3 separate bt connections)
