Cell phones have made our lives more convenient, sure, but they've also made it impossible to hang up on telemarketers and frustrating spouses with the finality of a slammed landline phone.

For those who can't live without the sensation--or who just miss talking on a "regular" phone receiver--there's the Penelope Phone and Base by Hulger, for roughly US $72. Just plug your cellie into it and you're good to go.

With a receiver this meaty, you can again cradle the phone against your shoulder hands-free, reminding you how much you missed that perennial kink in your neck that you had back in the '80s.
