1 out of 5 stars from good to bad   October 2, 2008
At first this product worked well. Purchased one for my father too. Then my handset would no longer connect (after about 6 months). I tried a hard reset and everything the manual said. So I quit using this and just went back to the old headset and computer. My father's unit did the same thing after about a year or so. Coincidence?


2 out of 5 stars Good Product but ....   September 10, 2008

The phone works well but it has its limitations and there is missing data in the advertise information. For example it says you longer dont need a computer, but to make it work it have to be conected to the USB port and skype running in the computer, so it's not independent from the computer at all. At the same time it is not compatible with MAC OS, and it does say it.
If you want to have your computer on and work with windows its a good phone for the price. Ist simple, no luxury at all but can talk nice.

Very Easy to use
good sound quality
in fact it was much better than my land line phone
so good in fact I called and canceled my land line
easy to use as most of the work is done thru the skype software
very happy with this phone!



2 out of 5 stars Don't Buy If You Have Vista   June 30, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I used this phone for a while with my Windows XP machine and loved it. For the money, it did everything it said it would and functioned great as my home phone and skype phone. However, when my computer finally crapped out and I bought a new machine with Vista, I found that this phone is not compatible... sort of.

It's really a crapshoot whether this phone will work with Vista or not. My guess is there was a chipset revision made at some point or something else changed from one production run of the phone to the next since some users got the phone to work with Vista while others, such as myself, get a "Code 10" error when Vista tries to load the drivers. I did everything possible to get this phone working (USB hub firmware upgrade, all Vista updates, latest software from Philips, etc.), but it just wouldn't work.

Unfortunately, this is a pretty common problem and neither Microsoft or Philips seems to care. Philips online help doesn't really help and their customer service really doesn't help much either. They chalk it up to Vista problems and tell you to buy a new phone. That's really not a good solution.

So in the end, this phone is now worthless to me since I have Vista. Don't get this phone if you have Vista. Buy a standalone Skype phone that isn't computer dependent. I've learned my lesson.



4 out of 5 stars terrible instructions/but great phone once you figure it out!   June 15, 2008
I had the worst time installing the software(something I usually don't have trouble with)then came trying to figure out how to use it...the instructions are way too vague!! I actually learned how to use it by trial and error and with the help from some of the other reviews here. Thanks everyone! I have to admit this is a really awesome phone..very clear reception!


UPDATE***You can direct call with this phone, the number need not be in your contact list!! 00+1+area code+number+skype button and your connected!!!
