VTech’s already teamed up with T-Mobile for the carrier’s landline-friendly @Home service, and it looks like it now also has a slightly different solution of its own for folks using both a landline and a cellphone. Two cellphones can also be connected to the LS6245 at the same time, and when one calls, users can answer it on the home phone. The handset has a built-in speakerphone of its own. The handset and base station use touch-sensitive buttons for a sleek look, with either also featuring a reverse LED screen for displaying information. Users can also choose from 18 musical ringtones.

The LS6245 is now available online and at Best Buy stores, priced at nearly $80, while an add-on handset with charging base, the LS6204, can be had for $45.

Best Buy stores are currently offering the Sprint Palm Pre for $99.99 after new 2 year agreement or qualified upgrade without rebate requirements.

Update: Best Buy marketing manager John Bernier has chimed in via his Twitter account to say that the Pre is $199 and that the “error is being corrected.” It’ll be interesting to see if any lucky customers managed to nab the device for less than a Benjamin.
