Easiest set-up of any IT product I ever bought. Very intuitive interface and menu structure. Integrates 100% with Skype. If your family uses Skype and a land-line, you need this phone.
Bad points The buttons are very "rubbery" and give poor feed-back. the print on the buttons is also very small. This is the only area where the phone falls down. However, once you get used to them - it is not such a big deal. Other thoughts If you purchase this phone, make sure you upgrade the firmware to the latest version. You may have to go through the firmware upgrade cycle more than once, as it may be necessary to load interim version before latest version upgrade can take place. When I purchased the phone, I was initially dissapointed with the quality of the sound, however the firmware upgrade sorted this out. Firmware upgrade is simple - just follow instructions in the book.

Easy to use, even my computer illiterate grand mother is using this!!, people dont even realise that they are using skype or are being called over skype.
Cheapest option compared to other VOIP Skype Phones, Excellent sound quality, Easy Setup. Bad points NONE FOUND SO FAR!!! Other thoughts Use this phone with SkypeOut to replace your normal phone line, the cost savings are phenomenal. I have worked out that to run this phone for a year costs less than running a normal landline for a month!!. Use Ligo for an excellent service

So easy to set up no problems connecting to Skype. No sound quality problems so far. Best bit for me is how if you have a SkypeIN number and have the landline connected you have 2 phones in one with each line identified by different ring tone so you can answer it acordinaly. Ideal for running my internet business from home even less overheads.
Bad points No bad points Other thoughts Suggest that you set it up so all outgoing calls go via Skype and press the green button and then dial number if you wanted to make a landline call, saves going through the menu. Buy one today, you will not be disappointed

Very easy to install, the options for the phone are easy to find and adjust.
Have set up all calls to go out via Skype, and incoming calls are via land line. System handles skype and land line calls at the same time. The latest skype subscriptions make this type of setup really worth while. The cherry on the cake is that you don't need a PC switched on for this to work. Bad points The buttons on the keypad could be better - they need to be pressed a little more firmly than you would on a mobile phone. Other thoughts Great battery life

 4/5
This phone was not my first choice as originally I had ordered the Phillips version, but this ended up being out of stock and so I was offered this phone as an alternative. As it turns out this phone has delivered on all aspects that I wanted and needed from it... primarily the Skype facility and landline choice plus caller I.D. I have found that when Skype is struggling with a weak signal and the quality of the calls are poor on the laptop, I seem to get a slightly better quality call using the phone handset, which is very welcome as this has been happening a lot over the last month (June 08)! Plus it was significantly cheaper than the Phillips phone!

This is a superb piece of kit, it looks and feels like a normal DECT phone. Once connected to your land line (if you want this function) and to your router power up the base and the handset, create an account or log on if you already have one, you will probably find it will want to do some updates. Let it do these (it will take a while) Once all this has finished you are ready to go. The function that tells you how much credit left is very useful. If I had a gripe it would be that the handset buttons are a bit hard to press. Overall a great product. You do get a SKYPE voucher in the box which on mine indicated it had expired however when I keyed the info into SKYPE it accepted it no problem.

Very clear sound and far better quality than using Skype from pc to pc. Easy setup and no PC required.
Bad points Slightly cheap looking finish reminds me of some 90s mobile phone. Phone base units are rather large compared to other cordless phones. Expensive! Other thoughts A very good product. Firmware upgrade is recommended on first setup and it completed on both phones with no problem at all. I can't comment on the battery life too much as we've only just got them.

Obvious good point is the ability to make skype and non skype calls from one handset.
Bad points Sound quality not the best but acceptable. Does anyone do a phone with a normal ring tone any more?? Key pad is not the easiest to use (a bit clunky). Other thoughts Quick and easy to set up, does the job if not a design or function world beater.

Does what it says on the tin
Easy to set up and use Sound quality is good but a bit quite Bad points Its a bit quite Other thoughts Dont be frightened by the manual there are only a few pages in English. The delivery was quick and packaging was good and including delivery it was a good price. I will be back to liGo for other products.

Great battery life, clear sound quality, no need for computer.
Bad points Firmware needs immediate update, and the phone itself is a little complicated to set up initially. Other thoughts This is a great little phone. Initially you may encounter problems logging in to Skype with your phone, but just leave it alone for a while and it will automatically detect firmware updates and ask if you want to install them. Once you do, login is successful. It is great that you have the option of using it as a Skype alone phone or Skype and Landline phone together.

Very easy to set up
Bad points One unit working in UK, other not working in Dubai, I assume due to local regulation blocking skype to phone calls
