Customer Reviews

Good Paperweight

Review by DGK, 2009-11-04

This is my first review on amazon, and I only write it because I've been looking to replace this phone and can't seem to find a good alternative.

This phone is a good toy for babies. They appreciate the way the screen lights up when a button is pressed. I'm sure better deals can be found for such toys.

Seriously, though: this phone is terrible.

The battery life is laughable, maybe 15 or 20 minutes of talk time.

The software is terrible: I am a programmer and I don't think shutting the phone off at a certain step so it will join a wireless network with a stored password is NOT a valid step for the end user.

So, don't buy unless you want to be disappointed.

Great phone, more than expected.

Review by John Kisha, 2009-11-04

I am totally pleased with this phone and would recommend it highly. It connected easily to my home network, has never disconnected from a call. The voice quality is equal to using my blue tooth and my laptop to make Skype calls. Battery life is more than adequate, though I'm not a big talker. If I were I would just keep it plugged into the charging cord I guess. Standby charge is more than 24 hours. I've read on other reviews that the phone 'gets hot' when on the charger but I have had the phone over a month and have not had any problem with over-heating. If there is a negative, it would be the buttons/key pad. I guess the best way to discribe them is that they are very analog and could be more responsive, though I'm not sure if it's just that they tend to give the impression of not being reliable. This is not when entering a number to dial a call, but if you have to enter additional numbers after the call is collected, like navigating through one of those automated phone directories.

All-in-all, this is a great little phone that allows me to make Skype calls without being tied to my laptop or any computer, and this freedom more than makes up for any minor flaws in the phone.

Very easy to use

Review by A. Salazar Howard, 2009-09-28

It`s very easy to use. A good connection with the wifi.
the registration in the phone was simple and just a little disconnection some time (few seconds)
the best of all.... do not need install software.... viva linux!

DO NOT BUY THIS! Get the NetGear version instead

Review by J. McClain, 2009-05-21

It is no where close to 'plug and play' and the user interface is missing some key setup menu options to make it work without needed a degree in quantum physics. Even with my network security totally off, this phone could not connect and the tech support guy in India had zero clue about the product. Bottom line, go with the Netgear Skpe phone - it just works.
