By David Carnoy (zdnet.com)

Internet and landline calls on one cordless handset ; no connection to your PC required for Internet calls ; relatively simple setup ; phone book stores up to 500 Skype contacts ; built-in speaker phone on handset ; up to three additional handsets can ...

"Great Combination of Features"

By JBAnder (cnet.com)

After the 14 hours charging time, my son and ... 

Combines Landline in/out and Skype in/out in one handset. Does NOT need the PC for Skype connection. Relatively easy to set up. Cordlenss handset with built in Speaker and will take a headset.

Connector to router wiggles and so you can get disconnected if someone jostles the base station. Selection process for landline or Skype can be annoying

In addition, you can plug the base station into your phone line (PSTN) wall jack to make landline calls - from the same cordless phone.
