        I actually do spend quite a bit of time on the phone, and thought 
of this problem as well.  What I did was connect a stereo jack to the 
phone (now implanted into the hand-set part of the phone).  THe 
connections are quite simple... and all I did then was take a stereo 
ear-phone set and disconnect one of the earphones, and connect an 
electret condensor to it.  The thing resembles a telephone headset, and 
is completely hands free...
 
                        just a suggestion.
