I kid you not! Since I am at home now, I can add the model number...

8) It is a Sony SPP-120. The nicest thing about it is that it never
has to sit in a base. It comes with two batteries. One charges while
the other is in the phone. The battery life is as claimed, amazingly
enough. I am very impressed with the unit. Whats even *MORE* amazing
is that the battery is smaller *AND* lighter that a regular nine-volt.

The wonders of modern technology...
