Panasonic Wi-fi Phone for Skype Reviews
So new features can be added. * A bit of expensive but it is worth the money. * Battery life can be longer. It is major advantage since I reboot my computer from time to time and I don't want to miss any call.
* It can be connected to any 802.11G/B network without using the Panasonic router came with the package. * Handset can be charged by any USB port. Buy an USB charger/long usb cable and you can talk as long as you want. The talk time is reasonable > 4 hours (comparable to any cell phone/wireless phone). * Firmware of handset and router can be updated if it is available. * The sound quality is just as good as landland on the other end even it is oversea. * Very intuitive interface. The saving of first 2 months is enough to buy this phone.
* Reasonable talk time, talk time > 4 hours on bettary. This is a firmware issue. Con:. (Polycom has the best speaker phone in the industrial). Some people gave a very bad review based on the battery life. So, you just need a long USB cable. * Skype cannot dial emergency phone at the time of this writing. * The sound quality is comparable to landline provided you have a fast connection (I have Verizon FIOS 20Mb down and 20Mb up).
However, the mic is not as good as Polycom. Keypad will light up when you are dialing so it can easily use in the dark. The standby time may be only 24 hours but so what. It saves me a lot of money to call oversea.
* Can talk while it is charging. * The speaker phone sound quality is excellent which is comparable to Polycom Voicestation 500 I own. You can talk as long as you want provided you keep charging the phone. * The phone will sign in Skype without a computer. * The handset will only connect/sign in automatically to none encrypted network/router if it gets disconnected due to weak WiFi signal. * It has all the features as most cell phones, caller id, missed call, call duration, voice mail, call forward, call waiting, time/date etc. You just need to charge it once per day or charge it while it is not used.
* The phone stand is not a charge. One must use mini usb cable to charge the phone, it is not convenient. Pro:. I hope it will be fixed in the firmware update. I use a Monster Ipod charger to charge.
I have not read the manual to set it up. * Handset is light and the LCD is bright and clear. * All Skype contacts will load automatically to the phone. I don't see battery life is a big issue since it can be used while it is charging. I don't think it is fair.
The sound quality is better than my cell. One can always charge the phone while one is talking. This phone is excellent.
The base unit increases functionality. Wow. Registering it on my network was tedious but not tricky. Great product. The handset is lightweight, easy and intuitive to use, with great sound quality.
I don't recommend this product, waste of money. I buyed a new expensive battery from panasonic, in the hope that I solve the problem. But battery life is still only 14 hours in stand by. Excellent conectivity and performance, but very bad battery life.
Pros: Including everything you need while making a skpye phone call. Cons: The phone cradle is not a charge station and has short battery life.
BUT the battery life is very short. I regret this buy. The phone isn't that bad. It last for about 24 hours in standby mode and that is too short.
