Or maybe not really, but for the price of $189.99, it's a nice toy.
Especially when you consider the price of the real ones...
However, nothing can buy you a dream, but a dream. :)

Ooma vs Vonage
My Ooma just arrrived. Sorry, I can't resist saving money any longer.
Lets do the simple math. Ooma Telo is $199.99 on Amazon right now. Premier service with free number port is $119.99 for 1 year, with $11.99 regulatory fee recovering (starts from the second year, but I'll count it in right away). For one year of usage the price is $331.97.
Lets do the Vonage math. Nothing counts (I already got the whole set), but the monthly fee. I'm paying $33.13 total for $24.99 plan in Los Angeles county. (That's a lot of different fees!) The annual usage of the plan would be $397.56.
So Ooma wins. If even I'll change Vonage to annual plan with $59.98 (20%) of savings, it's still $337.58, more expensive then Ooma. And the second year is when we're either making (Ooma) or loosing (Vonage) money.
I can also downgrade Ooma to the basic plan, still have all the features (but the call forwarding when the device is offline), and pay $11.99 a year. With Vonage, the second year is still $300+ more. And so on and so forth.
By the way, I am not going to use either Vonage or Ooma much. That's why keeping the costs as low as possible is very important.
Do your math, stop wasting money for something with no value. P.S. And Ooma looks better. Even if I keep it hidden in the closet, it's always nice to know. :)

Invicta's Russian Diver for $99
You've got less then 24 hours to purchase this Russian Diver's inspired watch by Invicta for just $99. That's is a pretty nice deal.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000R7K3MQ/iwhite-20
They put Swiss quartz movement in, screw-down crown with a cap, very attractive rubber bracelet with buckle, decent lume and 53 mm in diameter (not including crown).
With MSRP of $575 (ridiculous, like there is anybody who pays MSRP for Invicta), however the regular price rarely goes down the $200 bucks and typically is around $249 for a piece.
Give it a shot. Pretty decent watch for those who like the Russian Diver's style but doesn't want to break a bank for it.
