Summary: It works, but feels like a v1
Comment: The best I can say about this product is that it generally works as advertised. I connect the base station to a USB port on my computer and, as long as the computer is on and I'm logged into Skype, I can make and receive calls with this phone. The range is pretty good--my computer (and the phone's base station) are on one end of my 2BR apartment and the phone has a clear connection even when I'm on the other end (maybe 25 yards). I haven't had any of the problems that others have experienced with it not working, but it is poorly designed and so the "user experience" is sub par.
The most specific example is trying to call out. On Skype, i really have 3 categories of contacts: Skype (computer) contacts who are online, Skpye (computer) contacts who are offline, and plain-old-regular phone number contacts. Because I'm in the US, MOST of my contacts fall into the latter.
Scrolling through the list to find a contact is painful because my 3 lists of contacts are kept separately. If I press the "P" key, it jumps to the first P name in my Skype (computer) contacts who are online. But that doesn't help because I'm actually looking for a "P" name in my plain-old-telephone number list. I need to scroll--for a long time--to get there. It's just annoying.
Even little things--like getting to my list of voicemails--are harder than they need to be.
So, this product works but it's nothing special. 3 stars.

Summary: ok.
Comment: I got this phone cheap, as it has been discontinued. The phone is nice, durable, easy to use, and convenient. However, installing the phone will 'hijack' your audio capabilities, meaning that you can't listen to music or watch the news after install. Even if you adjust the Skype default audio settings, it is still buggy. One work-around is to create a separate log-in user profile and DONT install the phone on the other profile. depending on whether i want to use the phone OR listen to shows/music, I just switch between profiles.

Summary: stay way from this phone
Comment: This phone is to expensive for what it does, I am very disappointed with it. it loses connection often shows unavailable and I have to unplug it from the USB port and plug it back again to work, I am glad I am a computer tech I even found out by myself that I have to remove the battery out to reset it and make it to work again which it does not say in the owner's manual.I use an older version of skype 2.5.0.113 because this phone does not work with a new version of skype. I updated skip and I had to downgrade to make it work. I called the customer support and someone told me that it does not work with the new version of skype. I am alerting people to stay away from it or buy at your own risk , if this 2.5.0.113 version stop working which is already outdated this phone will be completely useless

Summary: Battery life short
Comment: First of all after charging the battery, it lost life quickly. I was only able to use it for less than an hour.
Secondly, it completely upsets my volume. I cannot receive sounds from my speakers when I connect the phone. I was disappointed.
