not a lot to say; with skype installed on my PC, and the base plugged into USB, i honestly cannot tell the difference in call quality between this and a cordless home land line. i have the skype account that allows you to call any number in US/Canada for free ($35 a year?), and use this to keep in touch with a friend north of the border.
Fantastic VOIP phone
Review by Martin E. Di Blasi, 2010-05-31
I bought this phone for my wife, who is talking on Skype with her parents every day, while she do the hoseholds. Being wireless was a must, and certainly this phone is OUTSTANDING! The installation is easy, the quality of the handset amazing, and the sound superv! The only CON is that it's not sold anywhere. I'm from Canada, and nobody could mail it to me here. So during a business trip down in Houston I looked around an nobody seems to know what a Skype phone was!! So I ordered on line to get it delivered at my hotel. As always, AMAZON did an excellent work and now I'm enjoying me phone. Even Logitech, for same extrange reason, is not selling or promoting this phone...who knows. But if you need a wireless phone, don't doubt, this is the one.
Great Skype Phone --- BUT
Review by Peter Snow, 2010-02-02
This is a great Skype phone that is only now let down by Logitech. Ever since Microsoft released Messenger 9 there has been a confilct between the Skype Phone and Messenger. Well after repeated calls to Logitech I have given up. Logiteck do not seem interested in writing updated drivers for this phone.
It is a shame as I do like the Phone but I must now go and buy a different brand.
Good - Almost but not yet perfect
Review by Peter Dykhuis, 2008-04-03
This is a really good effort by Logitech and Skype. The hardware is very nice. The phone is attractive, easy to use, good sound, pretty good range. The only real negative for the phone is that the battery life is fairly poor. Poor though is in comparison to what you expect. You can still talk for a couple of hours on one charge. The charging station is nice and small and the phone plays a little tone when set on the station.
The interface with Skype is good. All your contacts are listed and work well. The only part of the phone usage I did not like is the phone works just like Skype meaning you have to press country code etc just as if making an international call on every call out. I would think the phone could convert for you to remove that quark so maybe all you do is deal like normal once you enter your home area code into the phone. I am not sure but it is a minor gripe.
Very good device that has mad our Skype experience far more pleasurable and functional.
