Hi guys, this is my first post so please forgive me if I've posted in the wrong place.

I spend a lot of time on the phone for my job (I work at home) and I've decided to get a new phone system that will enable me to multi-task when I'm talking on the phone.

We currently have two NTL VS2000 phones which don't have a headphone socket, so the wired headset isn't really an option.

I have a Plantronics 510 Voyager bluetooth headset with my mobile, but the bluetooth home phones out there seem very limited, so I'm ruling out that option. I need two handsets. Or maybe I don't Ã¢â‚¬â€œ I guess the headset acts as another handset, almost.

I don't want something with tons of features, just an answerphone, the ability to support caller ID, compatability with a decent (preferably hands-free) headset system. Oh, and it has to look good. Nice and minimalist would be great.

Am I asking for the impossible? I just don't know where to start, there seem to be so many models out there (Panasonic particularly!).

Any advice very gratefully accepted.
