I have a Plantronics Discovery 925 bluetooth and wireless home office phone, so no cradle to lift from. I prefer not to go corded again (plus I can't until I re-route the Comcast cable in my house to my office). Looks like I could buy a cradled phone and a lifter that may work with my Discovery. I'm not sure what I'll do. I'm going to have to read through all these well-informed responses and see if I can make a decision! Thanks.
