In an age of cellular telephone innovation, the home phone has fallen by the wayside. We have seen the same tired wireless handsets for years now, while cell phones have grown leaps and bounds. Well, the home phone just took a giant leap forward with this model called the Sagemcom Sixty Cordless Telephone.
At first glance, it looks like a phone from the sixties, with an old-school handset and square base. But you’ll quickly notice it’s a modern phone with all the trimmings, in a package that blurs the line between retro and cutting edge.
