CIT300 I have not been a Skype user for very long, but tired of using an attached headset and not being able to hear calls when not in my office.
The phone works well. Setup was not difficult. Pretty much plug and play.
SkypeOut and SkypeIn function properly. It's nice having my main line and Skype into one phone. Less stuff on the desk. I can easily make calls from either service (skype or main line).
There are a couple issues that I wish were fixed.
1.) The ba...

Great sound, no Skype/landline call waiting, poor user interface Great sound, small and comfortable to hold.
But a big limitation is that it does not support call waiting / hold between Skype and landline calls, so if you are on the phone and the other type of call comes in, you must immediately hang up on your first call if you want to answer the incoming call on the same handset. It does support call waiting / hold between 2 Skype calls.
The strange menu and command layout seem to have been copied from a feature list with no usability ...

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MAC A friend has recommended me this article.
I ckeck with a BEST BUY STORE to see if it was compatible with my MAC computer.
Positive response.
I bought it, AND when I received it, it WAS NOT COMPTABIBLE WITH MAC.
Nothing on the Linksys web indicated that it was not.
I RETURNED IT TO AMAZON ON MARCH 14,2007 IN SINCE THEN... NO ANSWER.
I'M STILL WAITING FOR MY REFUND.....
SO I'M NOT HAPPY AT ALL WITH THAT BAD BAD BAD SERVICE FROM LINKSYS AND AMAZON.
THAT'S WH...

Didn't work - Tech support no help I bought this phone because I wanted a Skype phone that wouldn't tie me to the computer. This phone connects to the broadband router so you don't even need to own a computer and it is cordless so you can walk around the house with it. It also is a dual line phone - you can connect your regular phone line to it also, but I wasn't interested in that feature.
Unfortunately the phone didn't work. Whenever I would make a call, I would hear the other phone ringing but as soon as the ca...

CIT300 Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Good price. It is a compact design and looks nice. Clearity is good - based off your connection though as is anything that goes through the internet. Loaded fine so included software is good for XP pro SP/2
Cons: None really except I wouldn't trust the belt clip, not that I use it but someone probably will.
Other Thou...

Cooler Than I Thought - Good for SKYPE Newbie Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: I avoided VoIP until it became a research project at the office. So I went to newegg and found what looked to be a nice phone. Turned out to be a great phone. Dual mode, meaning it works for SKYPE and for a regular telephone line as a cordless phone. Works all over the house and outside in the yard. Does it all with no complaints from either end of the call. Makes calling all over the country simple for even...

Good value, Works great. I purchased this phone to augment communications to my remote computer lab. The desire was to have a means of being able to use my dedicated ethernet line to double for a phone line and this seemed to be the ticket.
What I didn't realize was that this unit is so much more. Despite reviews about poor interfaces and such, I found the unit to be eminently practical in function and design. I opted to purchase SkypeOut and SkypeIn to dedicate the system as a primary phone once I became com...

Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Unit works very well, have no regrets or complaints with operation of this phone, but read on.
Cons: No belt clip was in original package. Called Linksys support somewhere in Cyberspace, and they advised me to return the phone system to Newegg. Being that there was nothing wrong with the phone I called Newegg and they were able to somehow...
