Get a cheap cordless.  I have one that I have just put through its
degreasing cycle again.  It started out white but is more a dingy gray with
a few white spots on it.  Numbers and letters are becoming hard to read but
it is still functional.  Works great for calling in for parts while I am
right there at the VIN, parts, etc. as well as for venting on the
occassional telemarketer that gets through when I am feeling extra cranky.
