After a new voice-synthesizing adapter goes on sale, phones may seem to develop their own crotchety personalities. Example: the phone might announce that "Norman Brown is calling." If the owner punches the code to reject the call, the phone will do the dirty work, politely informing Mr. Brown that the call has not been accepted...
