What's a good, cheap, corded speakerphone?
I've tried to cut the cord from my wired phone but I am finding myself having to participate in conference calls overseas and my cellphone will often drop the call. I still have my basic POTS phone line but with a cordless phone w/o a speakerphone (and I'll forget to put it on the cradle to recharge so it is never usable).
So I'm looking for a basic corded phone with speakerphone (doesn't have to have office quality sound like a Polycom) but I should be able to hear the conversation and be able to pipe up when called upon. I don't need voicemail or caller ID or other bells and whistles.

Clarification: People shed corded phones all the time in favor of cordless phones. Garage sales, E*Bay, you name it.
Unfortunately, $ also follows speakerphone quality. The cheaper it is, the fewer bells & whistles there are, like echo/feedback canceling, decent amplification, etc.
Brand-wise, most good quality home electronic brand names will work well.
