Summary: Just plain awful
Comment: This phone is a neat idea executed horribly. Generally a poor user interface. Very poor call quality - echo and static (even standing right next to the wireless router). Sound quality is abysmal, everything sounds tinny and flat. The worst part is the charge lasts for almost no time, I just used it with 80% charge showing and it died 12min into the call! No warning that the battery is low.
Save your money. I hope the next generation of wifi VoIP phones get a whole bunch better.

Summary: Funciona sin problemas.
Comment: Buen telefono Wi-Fi.... funciona bien, facil configuracion y rapida conexion a la red.
El aparato es levemente mas grande, mas liviano (demasiado para mi gusto) y de una construccion menos solida comparado con un telefono celular actual, los botones y el stick de navegacion funcionan OK.
La calidad del sonido es buena y las llamadas en general se logran sin problemas, manteniendo las limitaciones propias que se encuentran tambien al usar Skype conectado a traves de un computador.
La unica deficiencia es la duracion de la bateria.... en general no mas de 48 horas con un uso moderado.
Por ultimo destacar su utilidad para estar conectado telefonicamente las 24 horas del dia a todo el mundo, a un bajo costo, sin la necesidad de tener el computador encedido.

Summary: does drop calls
Comment: I generally like this product however; it does drop calls and I can't seem to update the software...from 2007 which may fix the dropping thing....
Customer Rating:
Summary: Low ring
Comment:
I bought this product but returned it. Technically, phone works fine; however, its ring tone is too low and I felt that was going to be an inconvenience. So I sent it back. But like I said the phone works fine + it was easy to make it connect to the router.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It works but is unstable
Comment: This phone did not live up to my expectations. The wifi connection is not stable enough for long conversations. Otherwise, it presents a good package and software. I suggest going for a wired solution with standard DECT communication from base to phone if you plan to replace your landline, and not carry the phone around.
