Customer Review: My New Skype Phone is Wonderful !
Summary: 5 Stars
This Skype phone is fabulous !!! It's great for traveling, as it's a USB phone, so you can just plug it in and go !
More importantly, the sound quality is the best I have experienced with Skype. No fooling with your audio settings to get it to work properly. It works properly out of the box.
The only minor inconvenience is having to remember to dial 011 (pause) and then the US phone number, which isn't a big deal considering the voice quality. It's also nicelooking with an adjustable phone cord.
The reason I bought this phone is that I called up Vonage, after my former Skype phone stopped working, and found out that my Vonage bill would be about $32. monthly with taxes, and with Skype I paid $38. per year for 2 phone numbers. Period. No additional cost. And with the sound quality on this phone, you can't beat it.
The Amazon price is better than the Wallie price, btw, which is a bonus. I highly recommend this phone. It's a winner !
Customer Review: Works with Linux 2.6 Kernel
Summary: 5 Stars
A nice little usb phone for those if us who get tired of wearing the headset every once in a while.
Though made of light weight plastic, the phone is still solid for the task at hand. If you're on Windows it allows for perfect integration with Skype via the handset controls.
Usb cord wraps around the phone for easy storage--this along with a handy carrying case for travel makes it a neat little package at an affordable price.
For those using Linux, the handset allows for sound in and out only. No functionality exists for the handset controls. But this is no problem as the ringer can be routed through the computer's sound system and dialing may be done via keyboard or by mouse via on-screen touch keys.
Lastly, a phone cradle allows for the permanent attachment of the phone to the computer. No fussing with the sound controls every time Skype is started. Phone also has a look that complements any decor.
Highly recommended.
Customer Review: I WAS gonna give this phone a 3 5 Stars
.....finding the update driver that complies with my skype 4.xxx,,almost DROVE me crazy..Philips,,PLEASE make finding drivers easier(PLEASE)..I gave this a 5 star rating because after finding the updated driver,,it was WELL worth searching the Philips Files for..lol
This driver for this phone is "So good its unreal"..Echo>>>no no..Very Clear transmition(people finally understand what I'm saying) and reception(I hear you too)...
I was gonna get a nice priced headset but still the mics on headsets are iffy(making me sound muddy, muffeled, and too bassy..
Drivers and soundcards are key when it comes to these types of devices(VoIP)
Philips made a top notch key "DRIVER" that truly drives this phone...
Had to give it a 5...
Make sure you have Highspeed Broadband or DSL and a skype acct..
As of 11/15/09 Whats with the price HIKE?? $100+?? Got mine for $29...
MUST BE THA TOP NOTCH land line quality "DRIVER" LOL
Customer Review: bang for the buck? try explosion.
Summary: 5 Stars
when i dropped vonage, i needed a mobile solution that would be cost effective and easy to set up and this phone stood out among the other options that were before me. i trusted the philips name, the sleek polished black appearance was nice and it was within my price range... so i was sold. the drivers were easy to install, you connect it to your USB port and you're ready to talk away. it doesn't get any simpler than that. the device buttons allows you to interface with the skype program on your computer and you can scroll through your contact list or mute the conversation... the sound is fantastic and seems to echo less than my other skype solution at home. if i were going to add something to this product, i'd add a hands-free option to it... speakerphone or headset jack because sometimes i just get tired of holding a phone and i talk quite a bit. other than that, it does its job and at a fair price, it's a great device.Customer Review: DO NOT PURCHASE!
