This review is from: USB Internet Phone with skype (Office Product)

I love this phone because it offers caller ID, selectable ringtones and a whole bunch of stuff - unbeatable for the price (30 bucks). But on the other hand, I got this phone expecting it to do nothing more for me. This is a great add-on to Skype and is very very handy.

Plus, it actually offers features like storing the last number dialed and displaying the number which left a voicemail!

But do not get this phone if:
a. u have a mac
b. u want to see the caller list from the lcd - get the linksys set if you want that.
c. want a cordless or bluetooth one - this is corded but is very convenient anyway.

All in all, great stuff for the price! - and a must if you plan to make skype a part of your life.

3.0 out of 5 stars The phone itself is fine, June 6, 2006

This phone works. The driver is a minor issue unless you have a Mac.

For those who complain about delays in voice, the phone is not the one to blame. You need to learn how VOIP works before making your statement. IRAQ is not next door. For a network packet to prapagate to Iraq, it has to travels thru hudreds of hubs. 15 seconds sounds long but not all that unreasonable considering sattellites are involved in the transmission.

This was a inexpensive USB Internet phone that I got to do 'proof-of-concept' testing on Skype. It worked fine and so did the software that came with it. If I get more serious about VoIP, then I'll move up to a better one or cordless.
