Most skype handsets need to be hooked up to a PC to work. Like the hauntingly similar-looking Edge-Core phone (T3 131, 4/5), the Netgear lets you VoIP away to your hearts content with only a Wi-Fi router/modem and a broadband connection.If youve us...

The not so imaginatively named SPH101 is one of the first Skype Wi-Fi VoIP phones to hit these shores, although Netgear isnt the only company with such a product and you can expect a review of SMCs rival handset here shortly. But back to the SPH101...

Until now, VoIP made you feel a bit like a call centre operator. You know the deal: sitting in front of the PC while speaking to your aunt in Auckland, headset on, staring at the screen for no obvious reason. Hardly a natural way to converse.So fall to...
  • Lets you use VoIP away from the PC. Easy to set up and use. Free calls to other Skype users.
  • Poor attempt at iPod-like looks. Feels a little cheap for a £150 phone. Only works with open Wi-Fi networks.
  • A quiet breakthrough, marred by Taiwanese styling. At last, internet calls get up from the PC and start leaping around the house...

Now this phone is sexy. And its tiny candy-bar formfactor, shiny, white fascia, and knobby plastic buttons make it not only attractive, but easy to use—plus its sound quality was noticeably better than the SMC phone’s. Battery life is roughly the same...

I wanted to fall in love with the Netgear Skype WiFi Phone SPH101. It has an attractive, iPodesque design, its been almost done for at least six months (thats when many of us in the tech press first saw prototypes), and Ive been teased by its pres...
  • Attractive iPod-like design. Good audio quality. Easy to set up and configure. Works well on personal home or small-office Wi-Fi networks where you have access to the configuration and/or security settings. Clear, bright color screen. Intuitive Skype inte...
  • Expensive. Poor battery life. Network must be completely open and not require browser authentication to work with a public Wi-Fi network (a rarity). Difficult to enter passwords and WEP keys using phone keypad. Lacks USB-to-PC connectivity.
  • This attractive Skype WiFi Phone from Netgear is a nifty toy for the gadget fiend who has plenty of disposable income and doesnt mind a very short battery life and limited connectivity options. Everyone else should hold off until the next release...
