I bought this when last in the states and wish I could return it - but not worth the shipping* Does not play well with others - constantly screwing up settings and if you use it will minimize the Skype window.* Poor user manual - looks like an after thought* No support on the web page* The concept is great -- The performance sucks. - I suspect the problem is the software - I am using a Thinkpad and XP and it just does not work well at all BOTTOM LINE - DO NOT BUY
I was worried that such a cheap phone would not work well, especially with a wireless connection. There is a relatively lengthly cord attached to the phone, & it's more comfortable to hold then my cell phone.
All in all a good phone, especially for the price. The only complaints I have with it is the Skype interface/settings, but that isn't the phones fault.
Nice display. I'll have to look at the manual to figure them out.
I purchased this product to use as my office phone with Skype while I work at home with my baby. But I have had absolutely no problems.
I do wish some of the phone settings themselves were easier to discern by the graphics.
The MS message is "driver issues." Tried updating phone driver, but didn't fix the problem. I use it for MSN Messenger and about every third time I use it, the phone crashes my PC. Phone does work though and you can't beat free PC to PC calls anywhere in the world.
The SKYPE service center does respond quickly. I do not live in a metro area with the latest technology-sometimes things takes a year, OR TEN, OR TWENTY before it hits Lafayette LA. I thought all USB's were the same. That may explain why I did not get a response the next day. So I purchased the cheapest phone I could just to see if I could use it.
They settled my complaints and questions to my satisfaction. Here is one thing I found out. I am very happy with Amazons service and selections on items unavailable in stores. Software is incredibly easy and fast. I do not like the hassle looking for parking place, store moving things around from the last time I spent 30 minutes looking, being followed by store managers and clerks, asking if you need help when the clerk needs help finding out where everything is herself-Amazon is resolving that problem. I was over charged for some reason, but they reimbursed the overcharges. I love it.
They may be closed over the weekends. When I purchased the phone, I knew nothing at all about SKYPE or if could even get it. I would like to see Amazon put all items on the prime membership agreement. Amazon, you are changing the way people are shopping. Changed my mind about SKYPE. I think this VOIP is taking off faster than expected and they were backed up on the staff. If anyone is having trouble with the other person hearing or breaking up, plug it into a different USB.
i wanted to experiment with a peripheral for using skype, before investing in more expensive hardware, and am pleased. all functions are clear and user friendly. the phone is lighter than i had expected, and i'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. i got it for 22 bucks, and certainly can't complain. so far i haven't had any problems with this phone. the software surprisingly integrated easily. the only problem i have is that the little rubber thingy on the side of the phone that's supposed to cover an input for headphones is really flimsy and kinda annoying, so i just cut it off.
