I've been using it for the last 1 year and liked the sound quality and ease of installation. It is a basic headset but I tried few other models and found Trendnet to be the best. The only inconvenience this headset had caused is its activation (not always), which may require it to be few times unplugged and re-plugged until computer recognizes it.

The phone does work. I had a lot of difficulty setting it up. I could not view all the instructions on the computer, configuration was off. I am not sure if that was my fault or not but I've never had problems before with other software. Every time you want to make a call you have to open up your skype contacts. Once I set it up I could not receive email.I eventually got bumped out and so I am going to buy another phone. I also tried contacting their support line. They tried to help but with the language barrier,they could not understand what I was trying to say and kept repeating the same instructions over & over. Useless for me. :(

I can't say this phone didn't work; it does. but once you go into "contacts" you cannot dial a phone # directly w/o going back into skype itself and changing tabs in the software. Which; when using the buttons on the phone to navigate, locked up one me a few times.

If all you do is call skype contacts; then it's probably OK; but if you're like me who calls a lot of other #'s -- it's near useless.

I returned this phone and went back to my $9.50 skype phone which works a heck of a lot better - feels better in my hand too.
