Well, I can't say I share the paranoia about being tracked and all that. Basically, I figure the details of my life are pretty innocuous, and anybody bothering to track me would find out anything interesting.

But we have a new law in California that prohibits use of a hand-held phone while driving. I don't want to wear one of those weird Bluetooth headsets, so I want another solution. I want a one-button speakerphone.

With my current cell phone, I have to make the call and wait for the other party to answer, then push a button twice and (maybe) turn on the speakerphone. My home phone has a "speaker" button that works perfectly. Push it, and you get a dial tone. Push it when the phone is ringing, and it answers the phone.

Why can't I get a cell phone that works like my home phone?
