- Great sound quality for a low price
This phone has excellent sound quality compare to other Skype phones I've tested. So far, the voice quality for all the Wi-Fi Skype phones from Belkin, Linksys, and Netgear are mediocre. The dual mode models (ones that won't need a PC) offer better quality but still on the pricey side. This USB phone hits the perfect spot in terms of having great sound quality and low price.

Currently it only supports XP/2000 with a newly released Vista driver. No MAC support. Also, buyers beware of the VOIP0801B driver software and Skype version compatibility issue. I installed older version of Skype v2.5.0.122 with VOIP080 Phone Driver v3.1.0.0 that came with the CD. Those are guaranteed to work with each other by Philips. On their support page, they mentioned the latest driver VOIP0801B v3.5.4.0 for XP currently only supports up to Skype v3.6.0.xxx. So check for compatibility status before you decide to upgrade your Skype software or phone driver.

Usability is simple and straightforward. First make sure you've logged into your Skype account and activated the driver software. Pressing the center "S" button on the silver wheel pad will make Skype pops up. Keep pressing "S" allows you to toggle between Contacts, Dial, and History tabs. Hitting Up/Down arrows to select phone numbers within Contacts or History. You can also just simply dial the number like you would for a regular phone. Press "talk" to make the call and "off" to hang up. Press and hold "off" to minimize Skype when you're done.

The earpiece and microphone volume may be adjusted through driver software. Earpiece volume is also adjustable during a call using up/down keys. There are 8 different ringer tones to choose from. Volume for ringer can be set to off/low/high.

It looks very nice and sleek on the outside. The casing was well-designed with extra spacing around the sides for USB cable retraction. Comes with a phone stand as seen in the picture. Also includes a black travel holster that protects your phone on the go. Overall, this is an excellent USB VoIP handset from Philips...definitely one of the best for Skype!

- Good and simple
I have been using the Philips VOIP 080 Skype for almost a month now. It has been really reliable and the voice quality is great. Also the phone looks really stylish. No major complains with the phone.

One thing That I do not like about the phone is the USB wire. It is a regular flimsy black wire instead of a robust coiled wire.

I am operating Windows Vista and had to install the needed software from the Philips website as the instillation CD is not fit for Vista. But the installation went smooth.

- Philips VOIP0801 USB Travel Handset does NOT work with Macs
In the technical details the important missing detail is that this product does NOT work with Apple Macs. If it worked I might be able to write a glowing report. But is very expensive for Mac users because it doesn't work at all and AntOnline does not give a refund if you buy it from them.

- Functional VOIP phone
This product has worked for me just fine. I would recommend the purchase to anyone.

The minor shortcomings can be ignored for this value-priced item.
I have not read the manual thouroughly but:
The mute button doesn't seem to work,
The earphone volume was a little low and I found no way to adjust it.
I did a workaround by making the Phillips VOIP the default sound device in my SKYPE set up. The workaround routes the ear signal to my computer speakers and the volume is completely adjustable with the windows controls.

I then use the Phillips hand set as a microphone and have great communication.

- My New Skype Phone is Wonderful !
This Skype phone is fabulous !!! It's great for traveling, as it's a USB phone, so you can just plug it in and go !

More importantly, the sound quality is the best I have experienced with Skype. No fooling with your audio settings to get it to work properly. It works properly out of the box.

The only minor inconvenience is having to remember to dial 011 (pause) and then the US phone number, which isn't a big deal considering the voice quality. It's also nicelooking with an adjustable phone cord.

The reason I bought this phone is that I called up Vonage, after my former Skype phone stopped working, and found out that my Vonage bill would be about $32. monthly with taxes, and with Skype I paid $38. per year for 2 phone numbers. Period. No additional cost. And with the sound quality on this phone, you can't beat it.

The Amazon price is better than the Wallie price, btw, which is a bonus. I highly recommend this phone. It's a winner !
