put a cell phone on your desktop

Who needs portability when you can have a good old-fashioned desk phone? This unusual phone lets you use your mobile phone SIM card to connect to wireless phone networks instead of landlines.
The CVFK-M14-US Business Phone looks like a regular desk phone, but is actually a dual-band (850Mhz/1900Mhz) GSM phone. That means it should work on all of the major US carrier’s digital networks. The phone works on either AC power or battery, so I suppose you could carry it around and whip it out of your purse to take a call if you want to look really silly.
Assuming you don’t want to invest in a landline, and don’t want to go with some sort of VOIP phone on your internet connection, this phone might work for you. Otherwise, I can’t see too much purpose if you already have a cell phone in your pocket.
If you can think of a good use for one of these, you can grab one over at Chinavasion for $67.91 (USD).

And what about these GSM phones: http://www.jablocom.com
Nicer design, alphabetic keyboard,…
Almost what I have been looking for. I want to add my grandmother to my cell phone plan for $10 per month. I want to give her a landline looking phone that she will always use at home. She picks up the phone, makes her calls and does not know or care that she is making cell phone calls. The only thing missing is that I want the phone to be a wireless headset so she can move freely around her house. Has anyone seen such a product?
I am also looking for a cordless set up please let me know if you find one. It can be a desktop that is expandable.
