5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent companion for mac users, April 24, 2008

By	H. Han (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Hooking up this handset with my intel imac is a no-brainer!

I downloaded the driver from ipevo [...] and in a few miniutes I could start talking with my dad (who's in another country thousands of miles away) through the internet!

I've been using it for about two months and I think this is the best usb handset in the market. It's got echo cancellation so the voice quality is outstanding.

The design is super slick, totally different from those cheap-design ones sold on ebxy. There's a small lcd screen on the handset, it comes in extremely handy when you want to call somebody, and if you are a lazy bone like I am, all you need to do just to browse the contact list through the lcd screen and hit the "call" button without even touching your computer.

By the way, I tested it with my ubuntu linux machine, it worked right off the bat. Oh well, of course those buttons don't work because there's no drivers. But at least it can techincally work as a combination of mic + earphone for any voip soft phones.

For those who are in the market for a usb handset, I highly recommend this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect voice quality, May 30, 2008

By	Liz Nary (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I own a mac, and it's really hard to find Skype gear out there. I love this phone, because it's affordable (firs things first!), it's stylish, and it's got impeccable voice quality. Crystal clear, much better than a rotary phone, with no echo. Love it.
