Netgear SPH200D (Skype)

By David Carnoy (zdnet.com)

Netgear's SPH200D dual-mode cordless phone with Skype is the third such phone we've reviewed and, truth be told, they're all very similar. Yes, competing models from Philips and Linksys have different styling--this model happens to come in white--but ...

"Good until you try to access voicemail"

By gbluesdude (cnet.com)

It is frustrating because I can do this using... 

I like the fact that I can use Skype without turning on my PC. It is pretty good at making calls. There are some quirks. Some calls don't connect on the first try
