Product Description
VOIP841 series is the first DECT cordless phone with Skype that works without a PC, offering consumers total flexibility and independence from the PC. A full-color graphic display and outstanding sound clarity bring the emotion back to calls. Use your VOIP phone to call via Skype wherever you are. With Skype you can enjoy making free calls all over the world to any other Skype users. Skype, SkypeOut are trademarks of Skype Limited. As your dual phone is connected to both the standard PSTN line AND to the Internet line, you can establish or receive landline and Internet calls on the same handset. Handsfree mode uses a built-in loud speaker to amplify the voice of the caller, allowing you to speak and listen during a call without holding the phone to your ear. This is especially useful if you want to share the call with others or take notes during a call.

 Best Skype Phone Available July 15, 2008
Excellent call quality, works without a PC and very well made product. I had a Linksys skype phone before this, and the Philips is a far superior product.
Once in a while the base needs to be rebooted - especially after a power outage. Best to keep it connected to a UPS (along with your modem).
Great Skype Phone July 14, 2008
This is a great product, works as advertised, I have found only few glitches in the software, I think the only missing point is the Firmware upgrade to correct bugs, but in general I'm happy with it.
A Very good product July 11, 2008
Before this VOIP phone I was using the DataLink Hub. It has just recently had a new bit of software upgrade placed on their website. But, of course you have to know where to look and when to look so not exactly the easiest upgrade to come across/use. I just happen to feel like it was time for them to update it. Anyways I have both phones setup on the computer/router, now mind you that my computer has many upon many peripherals hanging off of it, not just your normal printer and such but external ATI TV Tuner etc.
The HUB rarely ever stays connected even with the new updated application/driver. But, the Philips VOIP841 is almost always on unless there's been a brown/black out in the system then it happens to lose connection and never gets it back. So you have to go and disconnect the power to the cool looking box that you proudly showcase because its that nice looking, and plug it back in so you have people call you. The calls are clear with some mild echoing at times. The speaker phone is loud and clear with no more echoing than previously mentioned, and not nearly as much as I would expect! The interface is very basic and considering that my cell phone is a PPC(pocket pc) the interface is a bore in comparison, but it wasn't made to run the latest version of WM(Windows Mobile)either. All in all, the best VOIP that SKYPE has at this time. Now I just need the extended remote 2nd phone for the upstairs.
Well worth the money and with the SKYPE price plan you can't lose.
OBTW, SKYPE now has outgoing caller ID a huge improvement!!!!
 Not a bad phone but i wouldn't call it good either July 11, 2008
Been using this phone for 6 months now and i have to say i'm a bit disappointed in its performance. All-in-all the build of the phone was very sturdy, the quality of the calls were decent and setup was a breeze but the signal was just awful for my house. I live in a 2 story brick and mortar house and the signal just wasn't powerful enough when i chose to bring the phone downstairs (the base is located on the 2nd floor). I also have to say that the batteries drained far faster compared to my old wireless phones. It also had an annoying tendency to display "System is starting up" once in a while and this wouldn't go away until you removed the batteries and restarted the unit. Firmware upgrade anyone?
Great Phone, with a few small bugs... July 2, 2008

I've had this phone for about a year, so I feel I'm quite qualified to write a 'qualified' review.
I could not purchase this item directly off amazon, so ended up using the online site www.wantitall.co.za to purchase the product.
What sets this phone apart from the majority of other phones is the ability of the phone to function, without the use of a PC. All you need is a wireless network.
The phone is sleek, and extremely easy to setup. Simply connect the power supply to the base unit as well as the phone, and you are nearly ready to go. Just make sure you have your wireless network password - you will need this to configure the base station.
The responsiveness of the phone is somewhat lacking, however in general the phone performs most functions perfectly. I particularly like the function whereby if you lose the handset, it can be 'called' from the base station.
Only problems I have had, is the phone sometimes not connecting to the base station. This is however quickly resolved by turning the power on and then off.
In general, a great phone, at the right price. Was lucky to find it on online shopping site http://www.wantitall.co.za
