Duration of ownership: 8 Months

Strengths: No pc required

Weaknesses:Microphone: the chassis conducts friction to the microphone, which can be irritating when talking. Contacts: I cannot call the skype contacts from the phone. The phone screws up the numbers and makes it impossible to dial any contacts. Support: I mailed and called with the LinkSys support, but they did not help. They blames Skype and suggested them to call them instead.

Overall Evaluation: Would not recommend this phone to anyone.

Strengths: You do not need turn on computer to use your phone with skype service.

Weaknesses:Sometimes you need restart your linksys device to reconnect.

Overall Evaluation: This phone is absolutely great. Sound is very clear, no interruption. Best of all is you do not need turn on computer to use skype service. When combined with skype world unlimited service, it is just wonderful. I have been using this phone for a few months now, I have not experiments any problem. Sometimes you may need restart linksys device. But I think problem is due to problem from IP service or router. I would definitely recommend this phone.

Strengths: This skype phone is very easy to use.

Weaknesses:For the first time use, you have to put your skype account at the phone. If you want to switch account, you have to put other account. It doesn't memorize the previous name!

Overall Evaluation: This is a very easy to use Skype phone. I used it to call my family in Asia. The sound quality is excellent. Highly recommended!! Also, you can have your landline and skype phone at the same time. Using two difference sounds to recognize landline or skype line.

Strengths: AFTER you sent up, it's easy to use. Excellent range.

Weaknesses:Quick setup guide is completely useless.

Overall Evaluation: I could not make it to work based on the quick setup guide. It did not tell you how to register the hand set to the base, and how to config the network for the base to your home router. The CD is not much better. I end up googled and set it up in few minutes. After you set it up, everything just worked on its own. Very easy to use with good range and battery power. Sound is clear. However sometimes the connection with Skype server would be unavailable.
