4.0 out of 5 stars Simple and effective Skype solution, 23 Nov 2005
By Mark Phillips "Wondermouse" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was impressed with the simplicity of the set up of this wireless DECT SKYPE phone from Linksys.

Open the box, and you get the handset, two rechargeable AAA batteries, a mains charger + plastic stand, a belt hook for the phone and a smallish USB box, about the size of a packet of cigarettes.

The handset is very lightweight, but the buttons are a good size and the LCD display's very reasonable. A better indication of when the phone's charging on its base would be nice, though.

As I already had a SKYPE account on my PC (if you don't the set-up on the CD prompts you through the download and install), the phone set up is really easy.

1. Insert the batteries into the phone and charge for 14 hours.
2. Run the CD to set up the simple software. (Don't plug in the USB device until you've installed the drivers - despite what the CD says).
3. When set up has finished, plug in the USB pack and it should be recognised.
4. (Again the CD makes no mention of this) Reboot your PC. Until I did this, I couldn't get the phone to work. Once I rebooted, the linksys phone app started, this in turn started Skype, and that was pretty much it.

Once the phone was connected and up and running, I could browse my Skype contacts, and also my Skype Out numbers on the phone's LCD screen. I could easily add new numbers from either the PC or the phone.

Call quality, both skype-skype (free) and skype-landline (just over 1p per minute) seemed good, and the range enabled me to go from one end of my flat to the other with no fizzing or loss of quality.

It would have been nice for this phone to also function on a normal subscriber line, especially for the price, and that's why it's lost a star from my rating, but if you've got broadband and want cheap (or in some cases free) phone calls, this appears to be a good product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 12 Jun 2006
By D. Liptrot "Chimpy" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A very good piece of kit, with a few flaws but nothing fundemental.
Pros
-Intuitive controls
-Can control Skype from your handset
-Sound quality is excellent
-Range is very good
-Interacts perfectly with the Skype system
-Headset port fits basically any basic headset that uses a dual-plug

Cons
-No manual, so a lot of features you'll only discover via experimentation
-Even when silenced it still has keytones, and a sound when placed in the cradle again
-Battery level is a little hit and miss
-Doesn't give the correct times for people on their profiles based on location; just gives your local time

All in all, the pros really do outweigh the cons, so this is a solid 4 star product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value, 26 April 2007
By P. M. Daly - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a cheap Skype phone, not the best phone I've ever come across but it works. I've read a review in which the writer criticises it because you can't have the phone's speaker and PC speakers working at the same time - why would you want that anyway? It's just an ordinary phone and when someone rings you you can set it so that either the PC speakers ring (as I've set mine) or the phone's speakers do. What's the problem? It has the usual functions afforded to most cordless phones, has a good battery life, call register function, address book etc. For the money it's worth it.
