From: Amazon Posted: Apr 20, 2007 Type: User Review Best skype phone out there!

This speaker phone is great! It is small, portable, and gives clear sound that is largely echo-free (a frequent problem with skype that tries to save on bandwidth) though perhaps not quite up to the best headphone. My only gripe is the limited...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 13, 2007 Type: User Review Skype speaker fits the bill

These units are expensive (compared with a headset), but so much more convenient. My parents overseas love some gadgets and hate the rest, but this fits the bill for them. I called them 45 minutes after the unit I sent them arrived in the mail...
