Customer Rating:
Summary: Less expensive than other options, but not very friendly
Comment: We have been investigating handset and headset options for our staff to use with Skype. The Hawking HNT1 presented one of the lowest cost options. We tried this unit after having testing the USRobotics USB Internet Mini Phone (USR9602WM), which we have found one of the best solutions for us.
The HNT1 phone has a LCD display that actually works (the USR9602WM has a plastic cover where you would expect there to be a display). However, since you are on a USB connection to your PC it is of very little use and is less than easy to navigate.
The HNT1 presented a couple of issues in installation:
1. The previously installed USR9602WM device (which had used the same USB port) was not over-ridden by the Hawking software and another port had to be used to get it working.
2. The sound interface between Skype and PC sound system required several adjustments and in the end I removed it from my PC and reinstalled the USR9602WM. The USR9602WM, by the way, enables you to stream music and talk on the phone at the same time--this may be something that can be configured in other ways, but the USR9602WM installation software manages this for you pretty efficiently.
