Skype it!! 
2008-07-25
It really cuts long distance calls costs down, with a very acceptable voice quality.
Wi-Fi connectivity to basestation works perfectly, and does not interfere with my other wireless stufs.
Excelente producto 2008-07-22
La configuracion es muy facil e intuitiva, con esto me estoy a ahorrando mucho dinero en llamadas internacionales. Considero que la inversion se recupera en 3 meses.

I am still waiting on a replacement phone. It has been over a month now and I have not received any notice.
defective firmware 2008-07-22
if you're thinking of buying this because of the high ratings, check all the 1-star reviews first and see how many people (like us) had defective firmware. after less than a week of use, it got stuck in a 'starting up' mode. after researching online, there is no way for an end-user to fix it.
Easy, Sleak & Lovin' It! 2008-07-22
Dual mode phone offers good to great call quality both on Skype and POTS. Easy to setup. Love the speaker phone function. Nice that the batteries are standard rechargeable AAAs. Average to good display, it certainly does the job. No problems as of yet. I am very pleased with this phone.

Pretty Good Little VoIP Phone! 2008-07-15
*This phone worked instantly out of the box with very little configuration. I did notice that the contacts scrolling is a little slow, as mentioned in other reviews, however this is not a big issue for me. The range is excellent on a full charge, as I was able to walk roughly 100ft from the base station and calls were still clear.
I am using it only as VoIP phone, so I can't tell how well it would work with a regular telephone service. Overall it's very good phone, although a little pricey.
Excelent!!! Works quite well!!! 2008-07-14
This products works quite well. Even better than most wireless phones. Would definetly recomend it for people that travel a lot. I installed it in my home. Now I can make skype to skype calls to my house and my kids who are less than 9 years old can answer my calls without having to turn on the computer. I have the station installed on a second floor and the handset works on all areas of my home even at the first floor.
Pros:
- Easy to install and configure.
- Wireless connection of station with phone is perfect.
- Sound quality even better than with regular phone line or skype call through the computer.
- Calls to skype contacts can be easily routed to phone line.
- Handset is very light.
- Doesn't sound like wireless phones.
Cons:
- Battery life is kind of short.
- Fills kind of fragile.
- Would like to have more handsets available.
Good product, but needs improvement

I bought this phone about a month ago. So far it has been working flawlessly. That being said, there are a few shortcomings that I feel could have been remedied easily.
1. The speaker phone is not powerful enough and therefore almost useless
2. The graphics could have been better. They are functional but not attractive
3. The sound (earpiece, not speaker) is clear but not loud enough.
Overall, pretty convenient and certainly worth buying if you can get it for under $100.
