God no, I can't think of anythink more awful... how can you call in sick, and have to face your boss knowing full well you are lying through your back teeth, using a sound effects board a-la Ferris Buller to make some disgusting noises...

They're ages old, very useful for making calls to a deaf person. Im sure Amstrad had those on the market about 2 years ago

So THAT'S the new em@iler :)

No I won't be getting one - I got one of the old ones - useless...

As for video calling - I have a three phone and only know one other person with one (My missus). Yes I use it to call her and see her/my son on a morning so I think I'll stick with that.

Not at that price, I wouldn't. You get video conferencing on mobiles though, although I don't know how popular it is. I probably wouldn't use it anyway, because they'd see me when I mime swear words down the phone at them. :)

After finding out the charges for the emailer one, I wouldnt want one of these, the costs would be horrendous.
