The handset was recognized immediately and did not require any driver to be used under Linux (2.6.x).

Works seamlessly when running Skype on both my desktop box and my EeePC 701 4G.

The phone is recognized by the computer with no problems. However, I would not recommend it except as a back up device. It is very difficult to hear and be heard on it.

I have just purchased a VOIP/Skype phone from Computer Geeks and I am facing the following problems using it with Acer Aspire One 751 running Windows XP Home:

1- Noise while hearing calls or voice mail. This makes the device useless.
2- I have installed Skypemate 4.0.2.2 (latest version in [...]). I am using Skype 4.1.0.179. I can not see in the display the contact names while scrolling down the list. This means that the phone is only valid to dial and place/accept phone calls, but not able to review the contact list, select and make the phone call from the list.

I have requested support from Computer Geeks and no answer to my e-mail. I will throw the phone to the trash as it is not worth the cost to return it.

DO NOT PURCHASE SKYPE « COMPATIBLE » PHONES ANYMORE. THE RECENT CHANGES MADE BY SKYPE MAKE THEM IMPOSSIBLE TO OPERATE. DON'T THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY. TAKE A LOOK AT THE RESPONSE I GOT FROM THEM BECAUSE MY 150,00 EURO PHONE IS NOW OBSOLETE: "Hello Victoria,

Much needed device. I got tired of having to point my mouse on the soft pad in order to dial. Great if you need to make multiple calls.

I'm a skypeaholic. I got this phone because the speakers on my little notebook are not very loud and if I happen to be in another room, I can't hear the ringing when calls come in. I really hoped that this phone would solve that problem and happily it did.
Installing the software was fairly easy and it works as I expected.
It's a basic phone, but it suits my needs. I kinda wish I had gone for the cordless as it would have given me more flexibility, but since I wasn't sure if it was going to solve my problem, I didn't want to make a bigger investment at first.

This VOIP phone plugs into a USB port to provide the comfort and privacy of a regular phone call over VOIP (Skype).

Ordered this skype phone expecting the worst and hoping for the best. The phone works as advertised I only wish the LCD would display your skype contact list although it does function as a caller ID when your are called on Skype. I tested/used this phone under windows XP/Vista 64/W7 64 with NO problems at all. If you need a cheap USB skype phone, this one works.

Bought this at a great price. won't work on Windows 7. Also PC slot on new Dell computers are much smaller and this phone will not fit. Tried in older XP Dell laptop. Won't charge in PC slot and driver won't work (3 tries). Either i'm doing something wrong or this product is junk. Seller requires me to pay shipping to return. After paying shipping and wasting an hour of my time will probably just throw unit in garbage. Don't waste your money!

Purchased to use with Skype. Beats using a headset. Easy install -you really do not need to install software, can be installed as plug and play on computer with easy usb cord.
Very small and doesn't take up much room on your desk.
