Landline phone with USB link to load contacts?

Hi all,

Not quite a VOIP - but does anyone know of a good landline phone (not wireless) with answerphone that will load on my contacts from outlook so a) I can see who's calling and b) I can avoid having to look up a number on the PC, copy it, go to phone and type it in manually.

You can do this with any old mobile, why not a landline phone?

Failing that any of the VOIP handsets do it?

Greg.

Looks like I have to spend my life guessing who's calling then, or manually load 300 names and keep updating it ever day.....

How about the Siemens SL785 - you can transfer via Bluetooth or mini-usb.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion but this application needs a landline, corded, hardwired phone - not a DECT cordless.

Let me know if you can think of anything else! Chers, Greg.
