Motorola's PEBL sports a smooth oval form with a dual-hinge mechanism to open and close the device with one swift, delicate motion. The VTech i5871 5.8-GHz cordless phone is part of a system expandable to eight handsets using only one phone jack; other highlights include a digital answering device, color handset display and dual caller ID.
