Linksys iPhone CIT400 Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit for Skype review

By David Carnoy

Standard landline and Internet Skype calls on one cordless handset ; better priced than some competing Skype phones ; no connection to your PC required for Internet calls ; relatively simple setup ; phonebook stores up to 500 Skype contacts ; built-in ...

No additional handsets available ; can't answer a landline call while putting a Skype call on hold

The Linksys iPhone CIT400 is a capable Skype dual-mode phone, but it doesn't include the expansion options offered by competing models.

The networking giant's iPhone line is a whole family of Internet-friendly phones, and the CIT400--also known as "the Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit with Integrated Skype"--is one of the key models worth considering. That said, from a features...

Linksys iPhone CIT400 Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit for Skype

By David Carnoy

Before there was this iPhone, there was, well, the iPhone--the Linksys iPhone, that is. Apple and Cisco--the owner of Linksys--got into a little legal dispute over whether Apple could use the iPhone name, which eventually lead to a settlement that ...

Linksys iPhone CIT400: a Skype phone without OS limits

By Todd Haselton

We follow up our Skype phone roundup with the Linksys CIT400. It's a Skype phone that isn't limited by your choice of operating system.

The Linksys CIT400 is the best cordless Skype phone I've had a chance to review. It's versatile, it's simple, and it works. It's versatile in that it doesn't require a computer to run Skype, and by eliminating your PC from the equation, the cordless ...

VoIP Phones, Round Two

By Davis D. Janowski

The handset portion of this hardware package shares some traits with Apple's recently announced buzz-generating iPhone-both make and receive calls, have color screens, and lay claim to a disputed moniker-but there the similarities cease. The Linksys ...

No PC needed. Dual phone. Supports multiple Skype features. Color screen.

Fairly expensive, plain-Jane design that doesn't entirely mesh with other home networking products.

This great dual-mode, PC-free phone system may lack pizzazz, but it performs quite well, letting you make both traditional analog and Skype calls.

The Linksys iPhone Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit for Skype-CIT400 traces its lineage to prosaic home cordless phones rather than the sleek communicators in most pockets and purses these days, and it won't be carried aloft on a tide of Jobsian...

Linksys CIT400

By Les Shu

Hardware connection easy to set up ; Skype, landline calls sound clear ; doesn't require a PC

Menus can be difficult to set up, navigate ; bulky ; Skype lacks access to emergency services

This landline/Skype phone hybrid makes PC-free VoIP calls easy.

Linksys iPhone CIT400

By James Hutchinson

Dual-mode telephony, Easy to use

Call clarity sometimes disappointing

The CIT400 is an intuitive dual-mode VoIP phone, combining ease of use with excellent functionality. While it has some flaws, it's a suitable VOIP solution for most home and small office situations.

Linksys offers yet another excellent VoIP solution with the iPhone CIT400. Sitting at the top of the Linksys range, the CIT400 provides users with a dual-mode VoIP solution capable of transmitting calls over both Skype and a traditional landline....

Linksys CIT400 Skype Phone Preview - VoIP

By Craig Simms

The Linksys CIT400 allows you to make both land-line and Skype calls, all without a PC.

Honestly about the only negative point we can find about this phone is the fact that it's locked to Skype, not allowing you to sign up with any other VoIP providers -- however considering Skype's coverage and recent "Skype Pro" announcement in......

Un Dect compatible Skype qui na pas besoin de PC

By David Nogueira

US Note: This is an automatic translation. The text can differ from the original review.

The CIT400 manages calls from your classic and your Skype account computer off.

Port Ethernet; Skype software preloaded in the device,

No,

The Linksys CIT300 is born a brother: the CIT400. If the products below, they do not look alike. At least not completely, because if there is a color display, the latest features a shell-color (black and ...
