I have to disagree with the previous reviewer I'm afraid. I bought these phones to replace the 'PC required' US Robotics phones that I used for SkypeOut. They were an absolute doddle to set up and I have now had them for several months without a single problem. Sound quality is good (to me) whether I use landline or SkypeOut, in fact the person at the other end cannot tell the difference. Oh, and I live miles from anywhere so it's not because I have an 8Mb internet connection.
I like the way the phone tells you if there is a firmware update available. For me this means that as they develop and improve the system, the company will automatically update your system for you too. I don't have to go hunting for updates.
All in all, this is an excellent solution if you use Skype and don't want to have a base station hanging out of a PC or laptop. It gives you the freedom to wander round the house talking on the phone with excellent quality and a superb range. The hardest part about using this phone is to remember to select whether you want to use Skype or a landline to dial the number you have just entered... hardly a showstopper to me.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I decided to purchase this set of 3 for 4 reasons. Firstly I use skype for international calls, secondly I wanted to have a single device that can handle 2 lines at the same time (landline and skype), third I need 3 phones, and lastly I enjoy standardization (same phone in the kitchen, study and bedroom).
I have been using the set for over 3 months and here is what I think. Some pluses:
* Build and reliability is there. Dropped several times (wooden floor, from ~1.2m), all work fine. No loss of quality so far.
* Because the batteries can be replaced, after `upgrading' to ultra high capacity I can use the sets until my ear falls off (so for my wife, and she can chat even longer).
* Landline works when network is down.
* Very easy to distinguish landline/skype call (can be pre-programmed).
* Update (contrary to other users) works fine - as long as it is done on full batteries, over a good connection and the gizmos are NOT disturbed (I did mine on Saturday morning - no problems whatsoever).
* Range hand set/base works perfectly (high-rise building, concrete cement walls, various levels, 3-5 walls to pass with 2-10m distances).
* All sets `behave' in the same way - a call made from one will be displayed on the other (shared history via base).
* A hands free ear piece is a great add on (few quid in a mobile store) - handsets do have a standard jack!
Now, it is time to complain a bit:
* Using 1 hand set does not allow the others to be used (can't do a conference call); the handsets do have a loud speaker function which is a work around.
* Finish of the handsets is not makeup friendly (I always know when my wife was using them).
* Can't assign different ringtones to callers (or I can't seem to find how to do it).
* No idea how to assign quick dials (eg. 1- mom, 2-papa, etc.)
So, despite a few glitches - I'm all happy. A great piece of kit & technology.

This setup is very easy to install. The handsets handle their own updates and connection to the base unit is simple. Just reset the base and drop the handsets into the cradle. Read more
