Unacceptable sound quality (but nice features),
On paper, this looks like a nice phone — full support for Skype Out, Skype In, voicemail, Skype contacts, and it doesn’t need to be hooked up to a computer. And in general it works well.
However, the outgoing call quality is completely abysmal, and because of that this phone is totally unsuitable for any kind of conversation. People literally could not understand a single word I said. I called my own cell phone to hear the problem firsthand. Words are robotic and garbled. Maybe one syllable in 10 comes through clearly. It’s incredible that this product is even for sale. (Incoming call quality is OK, though not nearly as good as Skype on my computer. Think cellphone quality.)
Another minor annoyance is that the keys need to be pressed quite firmly to register, but this seems like a silly point compared to the call quality.
I’m sending this back immediately.

I’m very happy with this Skype desktop phone!,
I bought one of these Skype desktop phones for my home office. This is one of the few dedicated Skype phones which plugs directly into a router, which means that you can make and receive calls on this phone even when your computer is off. This is a very important feature to me, since I would otherwise have to leave my computer on all the time.
This is a full-featured desktop phone with lots of handy extras, like a hold button, a mute button, and a redial button. The sound quality of this phone is excellent. The built-in speakerphone is so good that I almost never use the handset.
This phone gives you full access to all the features of Skype for voice calls, such as your Skype contact list. My favorite feature is one-button access to recent calls, which makes it easy to look up the numbers of people you call frequently — just press the green call button and presto!
I wholeheartedly recommend this desktop phone for home business owners who want to use Skype to save a lot of money on their second phone line. I also use Skype for my home phone, and my two-line home/office phone system costs me only $10/month!

Much better than expected!,
The phone is better than I imagined. Volume and screen brightness are excellent over a wide range, with total voice clarity over local phone lines and over the internet to Siberia. The unit sits solidly on the desk so I can press the keys firmly. The timing is just right for my ability to enter alphabetic characters. There is a lookup table accessible by the “@ #” button to enter further non-standard characters that might be in an email address. Entering an email address does find the related Skype contact. I can key in new contacts faster at the computer; the telephone unit updates automatically to match the computer contact list. I can log in using a different Skype account. Incoming calls ring at the devices that are logged into Skype. If both are logged out, voicemail picks up at once. If both are logged in, the phone unit rings once more than the computer (which I have set for a 15 second delay) before the voicemail announcement. Both the phone unit and the computer save new voicemail messages. After I delete messages from the phone, they are still archived at the computer. I have lost nothing and have gained the use of my incoming and outgoing Skype lines at an additional location in the house, and at times when the computer is not turned on. An online inquiry received a prompt phone call from technical support. Count this a major triumph for Skype and for Xblue!
