If I do replace the analog phone it'd be with a Nokia 3360, as that's the "hot phone of the month." I'd also replace the other broken Nokia phone with it, and I'd get colored faceplates so Warren and I could tell the phones apart.
As for why not just go with a handset, it's the idea of me driving with one hand fumbling for the phone while trying to drive with the other. Right now I've got a real-sized handset I can cradle between my ear and shoulder, thus enabling me to keep both hands on the wheel. I can also reach down to the same spot and dial without looking away from traffic. I can't do that on a cell phone that's floating around loose in my car.
Ear buds also don't work for me (or my mother; it seems to be hereditary).
