Touch screens hit desk phones: the snom 870

One of the features that makes the iPhone easy to use is the ability to create conference calls or place calls on hold or mute without needing to know any special key codes. All you have to do is touch the big button on the touch screen and you’re all set. Today, snom introduced a new VoIP desk phone, the snom 870, which incorporates a touch screen. The screen is 4×3 inches in size and is primarily aimed for businesses, however I can see something like this easily finding its way into the home.
