Dual-mode telephony, Easy to use

Call clarity sometimes disappointing

The CIT400 is an intuitive dual-mode VoIP phone, combining ease of use with excellent functionality. While it has some flaws, it's a suitable VOIP solution for most home and small office situations.

Standard landline and Internet Skype calls on one cordless handset ; better priced than some competing Skype phones ; no connection to your PC required for Internet calls ; relatively simple setup ; phonebook stores up to 500 Skype contacts ; built-in...

No additional handsets available ; can't answer a landline call while putting a Skype call on hold

The Linksys iPhone CIT400 is a capable Skype dual-mode phone, but it doesn't include the expansion options offered by competing models.

One of the first handsets that can make Skype calls and landline calls without a PC.

No computer required for Skype ; Lightweight handset ; Good sound quality ; Solid battery life

Unreliable Skype connection strength ; Takes up two AC outlets

The handset portion of this hardware package shares some traits with Apple's recently announced buzz-generating iPhone—both make and receive calls, have color screens, and lay claim to a disputed moniker—but there the similarities cease. The Linksys...

No PC needed. Dual phone. Supports multiple Skype features. Color screen

Fairly expensive, plain-Jane design that doesn't entirely mesh with other home networking products

This great dual-mode, PC-free phone system may lack pizzazz, but it performs quite well, letting you make both traditional analog and Skype calls.

The Linksys CIT400 allows you to make both land-line and Skype calls, all without a PC.

Outlook Barring some minor disaster, the CIT400 looks to be a winner for those looking to reduce their phone bills and increase their communication. And best of all, you don't need to wait for your PC to turn on just to make a call.

Skype ohne Computer

Habe das Ding seit 3 Monaten und bin äusserst zufrieden. Ich lebe im Jemen und nutze Skypein/Skypeout regelmäßig. Mit dem IPhone erübrigt sich die beschwerliche Nutzung von Skype per Computer mit Headphone. Schlicht und genial.

If you do not need to travel to hotspots with the phone and your buying mostly for sound quality, I would highly recommend this phone. I use it for calling out with skype out and answering my landline and it does a awsome job.
