Embarq Launches eGo Phone for DSL Customers

In an attempt to stem the tide of defections to VoIP players like Vonage, AT&T's CallVantage, Earthlink's TruVoice, Broadvoice as well as to the cable MSO's, Sprint fixed line spinoff Embarq has announced the release of the eGo phone, a new device with 2.0 features like visual voice mail, on screen directory (sounds like the French MiniTel) and more.
