Poor quality roaming reception is now a thing of the past, thanks to the latest generation of DECT – Digitally Enhanced Cordless Technology – phones. And Oregon Scientific has just introduced two of the coolest products on the market.

Oregon has established a formidable world-wide reputation as makers of stylish and highly-desirable consumer electronic products as varied as radio-controlled clocks, heart monitors and weather stations. Now they’ve applied their expertise to the digital cordless phone arena, and the results are seriously stunning.

Is it just me or is it hot in here?

Oregon Scientific’s spanking new TD338 Thermo DECT phone will also give you the indoor temperature - on the jumbo EL HiGlo™ blue backlit LCD screen on both handset and base unit. Plus, of course, it has all the latest DECT telecoms bells and whistles you could possibly wish for (last 10 caller ID memory, 40 number phonebook, call time display, multi handset operation, the works).

It’s devilishly good-looking too: both the handset and the base unit come in a smooth, silver finish that reflects the effortless style and cachet of all Oregon Scientific’s products. It’s in the shops now… go see it!

At the third stroke, it will be twenty-two degrees and sunny - precisely.

This little beauty – the WD338 Weather DECT Phone delivers all the benefits of Oregon Scientific’s cutting edge digital telecoms technology – crystal clear reception, secure calling (so your neighbours can’t earwig on your conversations), multi-handset operation, handsfree speakerphone and caller ID.

But that’s only the beginning, because as well as being one of the best DECT phones available, the WD338 is also a highly-sophisticated weather forecasting unit. Thanks to built-in barometric technology, this super-intelligent phone shows you the weather forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours on both the handset and the base unit (great news for weather buffs who keep losing the handset down the back of the sofa). The large, easy-to-read backlit LCD display contains a wealth of data, including:

• Weather forecast in instantly recognisable symbol form

• Indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity display, relayed from up to three wireless remote sensors

• One sensor included as standard

• Time and date display
