This Wi-Fi phone for Skype users works well, but it's not worth the price unless you use the service frequently.

It may cost less and deliver longer talk time than the competing Netgear device, but the Belkin Wi-Fi Phone for Skype still isn't a bargain--and certainly nothing to call home about.

Much less expensive than the comparable Netgear device. Makes fairly clear calls. Supports both WEP and WPA security. Easy to use.

Still pricey. On public-access Wi-Fi, works only with the rare, completely open network that requires no browser authentication. Lacks USB-to-PC connectivity. Entering contact info and the like using the phone keypad is cumbersome.

As with the competing Netgear product, this is a nifty toy for the gadget fiend who has plenty of disposable income and doesn't mind limited connectivity options. Others should save their money.

With this mobile Skype phone from Belkin, you can take it out on theroad, piggybacking from one Wi-Fi hotspot to another and Skype people to your heart's content.

Clunky and feels easy to break

The actual set itself feels a bit clunky though. It's styled like an old Sony Ericsson mobile, but is slightly bigger and feels a lot less sturdy. The buttons have a lot of travel and are just asking for pocket lint to fuzz up the contacts. Still, it's ea...

As the most well-known brand in internet telephony, Skype has become popular for offering free global phone calls. While its generally necessary to use a PC as a base for your Skype calls, the Belkin Phone makes it even easier to stay in touch

Easy to use, bright menu, Sleek and stylish

Build quality isn't great

If everyone had a Skype phone, these would be even better

This has one clever plus on the large range of Skype phones, to use this the PC does not need to be turned on. So provided you have a wireless router that's it.
