Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips VOIP 080 Skype VOIP Travel Phone
Customer Review: Cordless?
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this phone after reading the description given at Amazon. Following is what is at the website:
Product Description
Philips VOIP080 is a cordless phone with Skype integration. It features ClearVoice providing face-to-face conversation quality with the convenience of a classic phone. You can control your Skype functions directly from your handset.
When I received the phone, lo and behold, it is anything but cordless. It is connected to the computer with a USB cable. Extremely misleading. Otherwise the phone works well.
Customer Review: Good and simple
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using the Philips VOIP 080 Skype for almost a month now. It has been really reliable and the voice quality is great. Also the phone looks really stylish. No major complains with the phone.
One thing That I do not like about the phone is the USB wire. It is a regular flimsy black wire instead of a robust coiled wire.
I am operating Windows Vista and had to install the needed software from the Philips website as the instillation CD is not fit for Vista. But the installation went smooth.
Customer Review: wow, a real phone!
Summary: 5 Stars
After using skype with a microphone and headphones for years, getting this phone piece is the most novel thing since the invention of the internet. It works (nearly) flawlessly, has great sound quality, and it almost feels independant of my computer, even though it is still very much bound to Skype. The best thing is that even though it feels like I have a real phone, I'm still paying next to nothing in subscription fees. People go around acting like cell phones are the future. No, they never were to me. THIS is the future.Customer Review: Horrible

I bought this phone for my business, and it worked great for about a week... Then Skype updated and the phone didn't. Ever since then, we have had about 70% of our calls not have audio (in or out, depending on what it wants.) It no longer rings when a call comes through, and it's constantly popping up errors on the screen. Might be good for some people, but not for people with more than light use. We paid $20 for it at Walmart, and I guess you get what you pay for...Customer Review: Travel Phone, Great for Travel lol

Make sure you install the software EXACTLY the way the instructions say so the phone will control Skype properly. Phone is actually very clear. Perfect for travelling. I just came back from Amsterdam and I paid the 10 Euro internet fee at the hotel and used this phone the entire trip to call the US (I have the unlimited Skype plan)for free and it was great. If you have a Skype plan and you travel frequently, this is a Definite Buy.
