Very cheep and "plastic" - main button didn't work out of the box. Put some $10 - $20 extra and buy something better. Amazon was prompt with return.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could Not Make It Work - Not Recommended, January 8, 2010

This review is from: USB VoIP Skype Phone with LCD display for PC Desktop or Laptop (Black) (Electronics)

This is a poorly designed, badly documented, and frustrating piece of equipment. The package says just plug it into a USB port and it will work, sadly that isn't exactly correct if you want it work with the Skype software.

The package contains the "phone" and mini-CD. You should read the PDF manual on the CD (some really funny and badly translated English) before installing the software. The user interface is not very intuitive and does not work seamlessly with the Skype client (reading the manual is definitely required).

My problems started right after connecting the handset to the USB port. This was installed on a fairly clean HP laptop running 64-bit Vista and there were immediate conflicts with the Windows System Tray. In addition, my PC's performance took a major hit and every application slowed to a craw. After uninstalling the software and the handset, everything returned to normal.

I ended up installing the handset without the software on an older XP desktop since the handset does work as a speaker and microphone, so can actually be used as a basic Skype phone (hence the two star rating) but without the handy features listed in the specks.

Not recommended!
