- better than sliced bread
I have had this phone well over a year. It has not failed me yet. I take it with me out of town..connects to open networks everywhere. I even took it to Europe twice last year..no problems. It was wonderful being able to keep in touch with family and work in such a cheap and easy fashion. I haven't experienced the heat or complications I have been reading about. Maybe I got lucky, but I would buy another one in a NY minute.

- very useful new age long distance phone
Some reviews already exist, so I'll be brief and to the point.
If you're not technology literate and expect things to work out of the box, stay away from this. Really - it's not plug_and_play. If you like to fiddle and take pride in having next gen technology work for you, you may like it. Even love it. And hey, if you have family in Europe (like I do) you will save money using this, despite the fact that long distance bills aren't what they used to be...

Rating: - Good for our situation, but...
We purchased this phone in Februrary '08, & over the last six months have been pleased. We live aboard a sailboat in the Caribbean, & Skype is the only good (cheap + reliable) calling option. The phone seems to be as good as the internet connection. Sometimes excellent; other times not so. The battery is fine for our sometimes hour-long calls with plenty of juice left. What I don't get is why the price has gone up so much. We paid $119 with free shipping. It's worth that much. For $259, get a headset ... Read More

- Horrible product.A nightmare to use it!!!
I would not reccommend buying this product.It is a big pain to use this device.Frequent drop calls, no outgoing caller ID are few problems I faced!!!
Rating: - Good but not great!
I bought this product about a month ago. It's useful while working around the house with a wireless broadband connection, however, it's not that useful while away from your base.
It works on "open" wireless networks but not "free" wireless networks. Some wireless connections, such as those at McDonalds, are free. You can use a laptop to tap into the system easily but you can't use the IPhone to log in. Battery life is OK. Talk time is 2+ hours and standby time is about 20 hours before charging.
