"Not bad at all!"

For the faint of heart who leap into the world of Skype with this phone will do well to remember to get a top quality Wireless N type router. Although it will do well with the regular G routers, N is preferable.
Pros: Lightweight, fits the hand well, very user friendly screen and controls (I dig the little thumb toggle in the middle.), easy setup and sign in to Skype,ability to use any other wireless hotspot on access point, very good battery life and talk time, good value for the money verses other very expensive phones. We paid $108 for ours with shipping and had it before estimated receive date.
Cons: Charger for the phone fried in less than two weeks. But it also came with usb charging/data connect for the computer so we were able to charge it anyway. Loudness of mic is somewhat lower than what we expected, but reception is loud and clear enough.
Changes???: Charger reliability. Make phone size a little smaller or make into a flip/slider style. Fix mic and receiver loudness. Otherwise this phone is kick arse!
"Skype Portable Phone"

The battery doesn't last very long. Sometimes I have to reconnect to the wireless signal. Other than that, I like it. It doesn't have to many features to choose from and is a very simple product. I think it is overpriced a bit, but I haven't found another portable Skype phone that is better.
"Solid WiFi Product"

Way-easy-to-use. Solid reception. Sounds tinny one-out-of-ten times used... Pretty darn-good; virtually everytime. Obviously you need to be in/ near a WiFi local... And, you'll need the $3 per-month SkypeOut program to call other/ non-WiFi phones... But the Belkin phone is terrific.
"Not a good product"

Aside from the display looking and working like a cell phone from 7 years ago, this Skype phone is CONSTANTLY disconnecting from my wireless network. It goes through these periods where it disconnects, connects, disconnects, connects, disconnects, connects, disconnects for about 10 minutes straight, a few times a day. Really annoying when I'm trying to sleep and it basically turns into an alarm clock, making the disconnect/connect noises over and over. It's also annoying when I get disconnected during a call because of it.
There's nothing wrong with my home network. I live in a small one bedroom apartment, I'm using an Apple Airport Extreme, and none of my other devices have any trouble (Windows XP PC, Macbook Air, iPhone and PS3).
I do not recommend this. Try one of the competing phones, instead.
"Not Reliable"

- Reviewed By -Brett from Columbia, SC
I have had this phone for almost a year now, and rarely use it, because no matter what type of router I use it constantly drops calls. Even in areas with bad coverage, my cell phone is more reliable than this. I originally intended it to be my work line, however, that wasn't an option due to the fact it only stays connected to a call about 40% of the time. Don't waste your money.
"Phone Lock"

So far everything about this phone is great....except that there is no keypad lock. I keep hitting buttons and calling contacts by accident while the phone is in my pocket. Is there a lock feature that I can't find????
