Strengths: Easy to use and setup. Clear sound. Love the speaker phone and ear piece features. Works just like a regular wireless phone.
Weaknesses:Weak manual, but phone is easy to use so not big deal.
Overall Evaluation: This is my first Skype phone but I'm having a great time with it. I have lots of family outside of the US and the calls are loud and clear. It's really cool how if people call my Skype account from their PC that the phone rings and works like a real phone. I can?t emphasize how clear the sound is, no difference or better quality than if I was using my home phone to call out of the country. Not to mention it's a fraction of the cost of going through the regular phone company. There are lots of features I have yet to explore and if need be I can use this with a regular phone line also. This phone was a breeze to setup, just plug the stuff in to power and cat5 for internet and the phone synced by itself, I didn?t have to do anything but login through the phone. One of its weaknesses is probably the screen and the way you have to type in it, but once you get all your contacts setup it?s a breeze to use. However, this is not that expensive one, it?s only $100. It resembles the style of an old Nokia phone which is totally usable and practical. I would recommend this to anyone who need a Skype phone. On top of everything else you can buy extensions for this phone and have more than one phone set unlike some other major brands.

Strengths: easy to setup, sharp screen, great voice quality, one of the cheapest Skype phones out there in its category(Skype cordless-no computer), web interface to base station, Skype certified
Weaknesses:the default setting for the speed is 10mbps instead of auto with which one can get upto 100. this can be changed by going into the web interface for the base station.
Overall Evaluation: I was just looking to buy the cheapest Skype cordless phone that didn't need a computer and so I got this one. Its not just the cheapest phone but is also a great phone. I am very satisfied with it expect for the 1 weakness that I mentioned. Right when you take it out of the box, it has the appeal of being a quality product and you can set everything up in as less as 5 min without any guide. Overall, I rate this phone very highly.

Strengths: great sound quality
Weaknesses:none
Overall Evaluation: I used Actiontec VoSKY Skype Call Center before, I works pretty well, but I don't want to leave the PC on all the time. This phone is everything a skype user wanted in order to obtain pc freedom. I have been very satisfied because it really feels like a regular phone. The voice quality is excellent. However, the manual has quite a few mistakes. But this is nothing to do with the phone itself. I bought 2 sets, and registered both the handset to the same base, I have a phone with 2 hansets so I put into different rooms. Highly recommended.

Strengths: No computer need.
Weaknesses:Can't find at present
Overall Evaluation: I used to have the skype phone that requires computer, Linksys CIT300. It lost connection with computer very often. When I got this Netgear SPH200D, the connectivity problem is gone. The voice is very clear, especically more clear than my T-Mobile cell phone.I use Sanyo Eneloop batteries instead of the original ones. The standby time is at least 2 days (+2 hours talking). Like many reviewers said, the LCD backlight is always on when a phone is on the charging cradle. Also, I think it takes long time to charge batteries, may be 8 hours or more. So, my suggestion is to charge it overnight.Please note that the AC adapters coming in the package are for 110V only. I need to buy another adapters for 220V in order to use it at my home country.
