And best of all, you don’t need a computer to make your Skype phone calls. As long as you’re connected to a wired local network, you’re all set.
Large Full-Color LCD
The Desktop Internet Phone features a large 1.8-inch TFT LCD display, making menu navigation and accessing other phone features a cinch.

The Advantages of Skype VoIP Service
Skype is free software that lets you talk to anyone else who has Skype, wherever they are in the world, for free. There are no contracts, monthly fees, set-up charges, or hidden costs. With Skype you can also call non-Skype users at a much reduced rate than what traditional phone companies charge.
The Belkin Desktop Internet Phone phone supports all key Skype features including: Skype-to-Skype calling, SkypeIn, SkypeOut, Skype Voicemail, Skype search directory, Skype contact list, Skype Presence, call waiting, conference call (guest only), call history, and user profiles.

I just got this product to use in the office and the call quality is so bad that it is simply unusable. Will be sending it back. I hope that this is just a lemon and not a reflection of the product as a whole. But be warned.

As far as I am concerned, Belkin owes me $80.00 plus shipping This is one of the most bogus products I’ve ever bought. I am completely unhappy. The quality of the sound BLOWS — and I have a very high bandwidth internet pipe.
I cannot say enough bad things about this product. You will be better of with two tin cans and some kite cord.

This is a cheap piece of plastic…
I got this phone for my mom. We Skype all the time, but a direct line of communication, such as a desktop phone, would be better.
Look and feel:
This LOOKS cheap – all over. The phone cord isn’t even (it’s got all kinds of bumps in it…), you have to assemble it like you’ve just bought a kit, the headset doesn’t properly fit on the hanger (and that little square thing keeps moving… so crappy). I don’t know if the other reviewer TAPED that phone on the table, but it moves around like no other. It’s very light because it’s 100% cheap plastic. Worse yet… you try to hand the handset on the hanger, and the *whole* phone tips sideways, because no one has thought of how it would weigh if someone *actually* used it. The screen on the phone is tiny, and my mom can’t read anything on it…
Usage:
You open the box, and first off, you have to “build your own”… manual’s not very helpful. The handset doesn’t hang on the hanger.
When you plug it in, it takes a good 15mn to start… I’ve since then bought an IPEVO SOLO, that takes a whole 1mn to start. So if you ever plug it off and have to plug it by in, make sure you’re no hurry… it takes for EVER.
The handset quality: the audio quality was very average. I believe it’s because of the wiring and the quality of the components inside the phone.
The speaker quality: that had to be the worse. It sounded like the other person was all scrambled, the way that would happen if it was miswired or something. The amount of static was so overwhelming that you thought you were talking to a robot. Lame.
Overall: the processor inside that phone must be extremely cheap, because it didn’t deal with information very well. If you have background noise on your side or the other person’s side, then kiss your conversations goodbye. This phone is cheap and they really cut corners on every aspect of the phone: not very durable (handset not hanging, back of the phone not supporting the phone very well, phone cord all uneven), not very clear (conversation all static in speaker, lag in handset use, static when background noise), not very efficient (every menu option has a lag, can’t press too many buttons in a row).
Conclusion: cheap. Very cheap. For all the wrong reasons.

it works, the short phone cord, the prompts to connect, the 00 dialing rule, dont have a phone ringing tone, just makes it perfect for everyday use don’t you think?

The product is easy to set up, but the handset doesn’t stay in place. The hook doesn’t work properly.
