Digital camera reviews of NETGEAR SPH200W WiFi Phone with SkypeDigital camera Review: AWESOME! Great Device - Update Summary: 5 Stars
First I bought the Belkin Skype phone and can I tell you that it was THE worst. I should've read the reviews before getting it. Plug-n-play... not even close. Would not connect to my LinkSys router even with my settings as wide open as Lindsay Lohan. The user interface is clumsy and the tech support was a joke. When I started asking some tough questions about the device, the poor guy on the other line I think started to cry. Anyway, I bought the NetGear SPH200w and it worked right out of the box. Excellent job, nicely done. User interface was intuitive and setup was a piece of cake. I am an IT guy and I probably could've forced the Belkin device to work but that was not the point... the point was that Belkin represents their product as something my technophobiac parents could use and that is simply just not true. Again, if you are deciding between the two... get this one, the NetGear.
** Update **
The charging cradle does not work so I must now go back to the store yet a THIRD time... however, I will just be getting another NetGear phone.
