IP landline phone.
I don't think I've ever seen a technology so misused and abused.

You take an internet capable device to emulate the shape of a phone from 50 years ago, make it starionary, locked to a cable, bulky, incapable of writing SMS, and the most insane part, you give them to every single person in the office, even though all of them have a smartphone and they have no space on the table as it is already.

@LukeAlmighty @jeremiah Because the alternative, using a barely working VoIP application on your computer that constantly disconnects with any connectivity hiccup or just crashes, is way worse. Nobody made something better than picrel.

@LukeAlmighty @phnt got it. It seems to me a reasonable alternative to carrying a surveillance device in one's pocket if being on a digital leash isn't a high priority.
@jeremiah @phnt @LukeAlmighty niggers and pajeets cant make money stealing avaya pbone systems. and reprogramming phones for endless revolving door retards and strippers at the banks collections dept would be a nightmare. when did you last talk to the tards at verizon

@dictatordave @jeremiah @phnt @LukeAlmighty
Executive Assistants, office managers, desk jockeys all love their IP phone. For software phones, you're almost always fighting the software and or windows over which device is being used for microphone and speaker. Desk phone does not have that issue, plus it's much easier to monitor 10+ lines on a physical device than another monitor.

I agree that most people don't need a desk phone. Those that do would kill to keep it.
