Innovative Tompson Symbio Cordless DECT VoiP Phone with Internet Radio

As far as phones in general go, and especially VoiP handsets, Thomson’s Symbio is certainly a stunning looking device and, as if not just content to boast hightly distinctive styling to die for, the innovative Symbio, as well as functioning as a regular and DECT VoiP handset, also serves as a fully fledged internet radio (oh, and it can also pick up RSS feeds).

At the time of writing we are unable to bring you any details concerning either pricing or availability (though we have search far and wide for details) but we saw no reason as to why that should stop us from posting about this gobsmakingly beautiful device which even comes with integrated rechargeable batteries – allowing you to carry it around with you for around 6 hours as you listen to internet radio stations and or make calls.
