The 150-year-old catalog giant Hammacher Schlemmer has released a classy iPhone stand that turns your device into a desktop handset.
Hammacher’s iPhone Desktop Handset (http://www.hammacher.com/Product/79708?cm_ven=CJ&cm_ite=Hammacher+Schlemmer&cm_pla=1781363&cm_cat=1511450&cm_mmc=CJ-_-2617611-_-4132280-_-Save+up+to+70%25+on+Electronics) looks good for cradling under your chin, and definitely does away with iPhone 4 proximity sensor issues.
Seems like old-school handsets are making a comeback. The handset is reminiscent of the iFusion Smartstation office phone/dock that premiered at Macworld last week. But the Hammacher handset plugs into the headphone jack instead of working via Bluetooth.
The Hammacher handset is $60, which seems a bit steep, but is cheaper than the $200 rotary-style iRetrofone Base.
