Netgear’s New Skype Phone

Thanks to the obvious popularity of Skype, hardware manufacturers have begun to create more Skype phones that untether users of the VoIP software from their PC. Netgear has created a Skype phone that is stylish and cordless at the same time. The model is called SPH101.

It weighs a mere 4 ounces and measures 4.33×1.81x.83 inches. Its size though does not detract from the quality of the sound it produces. It has superb audio quality on both sides of the conversation. It only has a two hour talktime and a 20 hour standby time though. Fortunately, the phone charges using a USB connector from the bottom of the phone so it is possible to charge from any available PC’s USB port.

The SPH101 is a Skype certified device and is ready for use once the phone is switched on. The colored display shows the contact list once the Skype ID is logged in.
