Are these phones all digital? Sometimes I work from home and have some conversations that are otherwise boring but might have a password or two in them. If I were going to buy an expensive phone I'd expect it to also be secure. and I'm talking more secure than the frequency inversion analog crap they put on the 900mhz panasonic phones a long time ago. Hell I could write a soundblaster filter in a couple hours to beat that.
