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.

Summary: Very pleased with this phone
Comment: I read all the reviews of this and other wi-fi phones posted on Amazon, and settled for this model. I'm happy with my purchase. I'm deployed to Iraq, and even with the less than desireable internet availability here, the phone works just fine 95% of the time. When it doesn't work, it's because of the slow connection available here (a group of us have satellite internet, but it's still not the most reliable connection). When the connection is good, the phone works perfectly, clear voice with very minimal delay, if any. I can imagine how well this phone must work elsewhere where the internet infrastructure is more reliable than in Iraq.

Summary: Cool
Comment: I recieved my Belkin Wi-Fi phone about a week ago and will be dropping my home phone service at the end of the month. However, I will be keeping my cell phone pay as you go plan. This is because I can not get a Canadian number from skype. So I have a Michigan number which is local to my sister. When I make calls from Skype it looks like I am calling from my cell phone. There is a slight delay in using the phone but it is easy to anticipate and conversations go smoothly. On rare occasions I have gotten a bad connection, solved by hanging up and calling back. The phone has no bells and whisltes. No camera, surfing the net etc. It is a basic phone, which is fine by me. It is easy and straight forward to use. Set up is easy. The screen attracts dust, dirt and greese like mad but not a problem once I put a LCD screen protector on. 3 for 10 loonies at best buy. I have had no problem using it around town. It connects at McDonalds, Starbucks, all the hotels I have stopped at and when driving around town I can usually find an unsecured network. Setting it up at home was as easy as typing in my WEP passkey. It must be recharged everyday. Enough said. I am thinking about getting a usb charger for the car. I have seen them at Best Buy. This phone is going to save me $720/year. How can anyone agrue with that. I love this phone and when Skype starts providing Canadian local numbers I will drop the cell phone as well.

Summary: Pros and cons
Comment: Battery lasts one day, two at most (with low use).
Network keeps on disconecting even when I'm 4 ft from my linksys router.
Lacks from text messaging, ringtones or any utility software.
The rest is ok
Customer Rating:
Summary: Contact names ONLY in latin
Comment: If your contact list contains names in Unicode (like Greek, Russian, etc) normal Skype would show them flawlessly, but Belkin just gives you the empty squares... Very annoying...
