IPEVO Skype USB Phone Review

We’ve received the stylish IPEVO Skype USB Phone that we’ve mentioned previously on Ubergizmo. The unit is juts as we thought it would be: very light (65g) and well designed. T is very easy to configure. Basically, just install the software, then plug the phone. In our case, we tried it on a Power Mac G5 and we conveniently plugged phone to the keyboard USB plug. We quickly tried to call a few friends to hear how good the sound was, and it’s very good.

If you are calling other computers, the main buttons that you’ll care about are the “Yes”, “No” and “Scroll” ones. That’s really what I use the most. To use SkypeOut, just press “+” and dial as you would normally do.

Three function buttons are also present to make your life easier. They look a bit like the Sony Playstation buttons: Circle, Diamond, Square. By default, they are setup as follow:
Circle: Opens Text Message window
Diamond: Send Voice Message
Square: Setup Ring Tone
Of course, you can customize them to something that fits your needs.

Conclusion
We really like this Skype phone. It is reasonably priced ($29.99 today) and is worth every penny. However, it is not perfect: we would love to get a monitor mount/dock and a coiled handset cord.

The dialing function on my IPEVO Free.1 is not working anymore. After a window showed that the system had to be shut down because of the IPEVO phone, the dialing function on the phone does not work anymore.
Has anyone a solution for this problem.

Please tell me.
Thanks

I purchased a phone exactly like this one in Japan, but the software is not working corectly. Could anyone tell me where I could get a US version of the software for this phone.

I just don't have much to say right now. Pretty much nothing seems worth doing. My mind is like an empty room. I haven't gotten anything done these days. What can I say?

really love it. Was looking forward for a long time to finally use a nice phone with my mac and couldn't be happier, especially at that price.

Would this product work with non-Skype VOIP softphones? For example, Cisco.
