LCD Display also shows "Skype" caller id, call status, time and phone status.They did say that they have plans to offer more advanced in-house developed VoIP products in the near future. But if it's not IPFones, then this a damn good copy! ) One retails for $39.95 and the other $49.99. USRobotics confirmed it was indeed an OEM product, but they did not confirm if it was IPFones or not. I should point out that this is an OEM'ed version of what appears to me to be the IPFones USB Skype phone that I reviewed a little while back. First, was my exclusive review of the Linksys CIT200 Skype phone and now as of Monday, USRobotics is offering a Skype-compatible phone. To talk on it you either use the speakerphone or plug in a headset.It seems to be a busy week for Skype phones coming to market. Note that the Aiguru does not have a normal phone handset. You’ll be happier with the Asus hooking it up to the internet with a LAN line. You can use it via wifi but we found the call quality too inconsistent when we did that. The Asus Aiguru can be powered from a wall outlet or operated on batteries. If you are going to buy a Skype phone why not get one with video capabilities? Because the Asus Aiguru is also good voice phone for making normal telephone voice calls (or receiving them if you have a Skype phone number).Our computer is downstairs so we have a Asus Aiguru upstairs in the bedroom. Because you don’t want to miss incoming video calls.Many a Asus videophones end up as gifts to elderly parents. Because this phone makes a great gift for some one you want to video chat with but who is not tethered to their computer (or isn’t adept at operating one).So why would you want to buy this Asus device if you can already video call from your computer? Quite possibly you wouldn’t.

Skype’s video calling capabilities are really phenomenal! If you have a computer with a video camera and a microphone and speakers (or a headset) then you can download the Skype software and video chat for free with other Skype users. The Panasonic is perfect for travelers who want to avoid the hefty international rates cellular companies charge when they roam on a foreign provider’s service network. To that end, it comes with a carry case, voltage-adjusting power supply and a travel router with wireless signal locator (photo below). While we recommend this Panasonic for your home phone it also happens to be one of the best travel phones. Add that to calls that can sound better than your typical cordless phone, and this Panasonic Skype phone is a winner of function if not form.
But we approve of the phone’s easy set-up and long battery life (55 hours of standby, 4.5 hours of talk, between charges).

Unfortunately, the TV remote-resembling Panasonic is also the worst looking wifi Skype phone we tested.
But the Panasonic is the only phone that consistently made clear calls. Of all the phones we tried, the Netgear phone is adequate and the Ipevo S0-20 is quite good. With one Skype wifi phone we tested the person on the other end literally couldn’t understand a word we were saying he joked about his concern that we had be kidnapped and were trying to ask him for help through our mouth gag. The problem is that most wifi phones too often loose the wifi signal they are tracking. If you are in a wifi hotpot and someone calls your Skype number your wifi phone will ring. Supposedly a wifi phone taps into your wireless internet signal (or any wifi signal that’s open or to which you have a password). Most of the wifi Skype phones we tested were, scientifically speaking, sucky. Best Wireless Internet Phone & Travel Phone
