There are a few landline phones that can read / write GSM SIM cards, for 
instance my BT Relate can do this. As near as you get to the GSM/DECT 
switchable phone (I think) is the BT Fusion product, which is an 
automatic switchover from GSM to Bluetooth and your landline via a 
special basestation.

That all reads like a BT plug doesn't it? Oh well :)
