works for me!

I received this product in just two days with Amazon Prime. Five minutes later I was talkingo my daughter in England, skype to skype. Setup was incredibly easy, just follow to phone prompts. I did not need to load software on my computer. Sound quality was good - much better than that coming from my laptop speakers. Calling skype to skype is so easy. Skype-out works great too... just dial "+1" then the area code and phone number. Range is decent, work wherever my signal reaches. It does have speakerphone which is only fair. Overall, this phone works much better than the ratings lead me to believe. I just may buy another!

Good but not great!

I bought this product about a month ago. It's useful while working around the house with a wireless broadband connection, however, it's not that useful while away from your base.
It works on "open" wireless networks but not "free" wireless networks. Some wireless connections, such as those at McDonalds, are free. You can use a laptop to tap into the system easily but you can't use the IPhone to log in. Battery life is OK. Talk time is 2+ hours and standby time is about 20 hours before charging.

Good for our situation, but...

We purchased this phone in Februrary '08, & over the last six months have been pleased. We live aboard a sailboat in the Caribbean, & Skype is the only good (cheap + reliable) calling option. The phone seems to be as good as the internet connection. Sometimes excellent; other times not so. The battery is fine for our sometimes hour-long calls with plenty of juice left. What I don't get is why the price has gone up so much. We paid $119 with free shipping. It's worth that much. For $259, get a headset & use the computer! Not worth the expense.
