![]() D-Link Skype USB Phone Adapter $45.99 Easy to operate. Sometimes it disconect from skype but can be skype and not this. ![]() IPEVO S0-10 Skype Desktop Phone-Black handset $169.99 I was worried when I ordered this product. I was worried that it would be difficult to set up, that it would not feel like a "real" phone and that the sound quality would be crap. I was wrong on all counts. Setup was quite simple. The interface is straightforward and easy to figure out. Even though the receiver doesn't have the heft of regular phone, it still feels ok and substantial enough to not be distracting. The sound quality is actually better than I expected and better than my laptop-headset combo. All in all, I'd say it's a great Skype phone. ![]() IPEVO S0-20 WiFi Phone for Skype $139.00 The phone doesn't support DTMF tones so you can't dial extension numbers or make choices in voice menus. To update the firmware you need to purchase a separate cable that isn't included with the phone. If you only need to receive calls and not make outgoing calls then this is a very good phone. ![]() Philips VOIP1511B/37 Skype Travel Phone $25.99 This skype phone has been a pain from day one to keep working. The driver crashes frequintly on both of my laptops. One laptop has XP Home and the other is running Vista Basic. The problems I've had with it are different from the XP Home computer and the Vista one. This phone does not work with the most recent versions of Skype. I had to un-install Skype 4.1 and go back to version 3.8, which Phillips provide on the disk. Even though I downloaded a 175 mb update and rolled my Skype back, it is just as bad. On my Vista computer, the driver crashes when you try to use the buttons on the phone. On my XP computer, the driver will not start with windows, when I manually start the driver, it works fine for hours, but at some point I will realize that it is not running. The sound quality is really good on the XP laptop, not so much on the Vista machine. My laptop with Vista is brand new, this phone was one of the first things I set up, so the machine is not all messed up and my other XP machine has been used alot, software installed and un-installed ect. |
