I purchased this phone primarily for use with Skype because I was tired of having to sit at my desk with a headset. I don't have a traditional phone line, so I cannot comment on any issues the phone might have with dual modes. I don't know how it compares with other VOIP phones and I purchased it used at a very attractive price and I use it strictly for making calls through Skype. Also, I work with computers so I am comfortable installing components and drivers. from Amazon.com All of the other gripes aside, I only have ONE. Philips refuses to support the driver. New versions of Skype cause the phone driver to hang. from Amazon.com I purchased this phone in summer of 2008 to take advantage of Skype and VOIP while working with people all around the world, unfortunately shortly after I installed the phone, Skype upgraded their software and since then Phillips hasn't done a thing to make their drivers work with the latest versions of Skype, so I have to use my webcam microphone and speakers to do calls. Also doesn't allow me to use the landline option for POTS calls. from Amazon.com The Philips VOIP841 is user friendly and allows Skype calls in and out plus landline useage all without having the PC on. Obviously, production had to be terminated once they hit upon something like this. from Amazon.com This product is supposed to be Vista compatiable; it is not. Philips has recently changed their website to say they are evaluating the products compatiability. from Amazon.com I purchased a new Phillips VOIP841C phone. Came with 1 phone and it's modem. from Amazon.com You do not have to sit in front of the computer for skype calls anymore. I have skype subscription, so I use this as a skype out also. I make calls and receive calls on this Philips. Call quality is excellent. from Amazon.com After testing Skype itself (see other good reviews in this set on how Skype works) on a laptop for a month, we decided we liked it enough to get a Skype phone. After spending a lot of time comparing models on line, we got this one because it looked more like a regular phone (we don't need a Skype phone that travels) and so hoped it would be comfortable to use. In fact, its form is clearly derived from the Philips landline phone we had before. The phone has surpassed expectations. from Amazon.com I bought one unit in late 2007, the speech quality using the microphone on either VOIP or landline was dreadful but at least it was OK with a headset, until both the headset and mic stopped working. Frys replaced the unit in July last year, but now the headset is not working again. from Amazon.com Philips VOIP 321 Skype Dual Phone Single Handset ( VOIP3211G/37 ) Just received this for Christmas, per my request for a Skype phone. from Amazon.com
