I purchased this to replace a vonage phone, which despite working well was just too expensive for a Voip phone. The idea of a wifi phone is great, however the belkin implementation falls down on:
- very very poor voice quality on anything but a perfect high speed link (awful compared to vonage or skype on a PC on the same link)
- very short battery life (though at least it is USB chargeable)
- No skype messaging support (not even receive)
- No software updates for 18 months to fix the above (appears to be a dead product)
In addition the user interface is pretty clunky. I would stay away from this product and use one of the cordless products instead - they work much better. Hopefully someone will implement a decent wifi skype phone soon (or implement a decent client for the iphone!!)
