The NETGEAR SPH200D is a cordless Skype phone that doubles as a regular landline telephone. The selling point of the SPH200D is the fact that it doesn...

Doesn't require a PC, telephone book for Skype and landline contacts, decent call quality

Design, controls, slow user interface, no handset locator on charging cradle

The SPH200D is convenient if you are a regular Skype user, and is only hindered by a bland design and a slow user interface.

Do not make the mistake of thinking about the SPH200D in terms of being a normal cordless telephone with the addition of Skype functionality as a bonus. You would have to be mad to cough up nearly £100 for such a thing. However, turn the assumption on...

Makes Skype calls away from the PC, simple setup, good voice quality

Price, huge range of hugely annoying ring tones

At last, a handset for using Skype away from the PC that doesn’t feel and sound like a toy!

Internet and landline calls on one cordless handset ; no connection to your PC required for Internet calls ; relatively simple setup ; phone book stores up to 500 Skype contacts ; built-in speaker phone on handset ; up to three additional handsets can...

Can't answer a landline call while putting a Skype call on hold ; occasional lockups require batteries to be removed to initiate a reset ; iPod-like white design may clash with more traditional home decor

The Netgear SPH200D enables phone calls on Skype and traditional landlines--but it falls a bit short of competing models on design and features.

Netgear's SPH200D dual-mode cordless phone with Skype is the third such phone we've reviewed and, truth be told, they're all very similar. Yes, competing models from Philips and Linksys have different styling--this model happens to come in white--but...

The Netgear SPH200D enables phone calls on Skype and traditional landlines--but it falls a bit short of competing models on design and features.

The Netgear SPH200D isn't the first Skype phone to work wirelessly over a network. In fact, it's not even the first Skype phone from Netgear to work wirelessly over a network - that particular accolade goes to the SPH101D. But it may just be the best...

If you use Skype and you dislike being tethered to your PC, the SPH200D is the best wireless network Skype phone we've seen yet. Indeed, the extra convenience is probably enough that you'll save the cost of the phone because of the increased number of...

Looking for Skype and landline calls from the same phone? Netgear has the answer.

Netgear delivers an innovative communications product that neatly integrates Skype and PSTN functions into a single solution. We were impressed with the ease of installation and use making it ideal for home and small business users alike that want the...

The Linksys CIT400's more physically attractive sibling, this impressive dual-mode PC-free phone system lets you make both traditional analog calls and VoIP phone calls, via Skype.

No PC needed. Can make both VoIP and analog calls. Supports multiple Skype features. Color screen. Attractive design

Expensive. Router required for sharing Internet connection between device and PCs

Ready availability of extra handsets makes the Netgear SPH200D more easily expandable than competing dual-mode cordless phones with Skype.

Expensive ; A little unstable ; No live toggling between landline and Skype calls

The biggest thing the Netgear SPH200D has going for it over competing Skype phones is that you can add extra handsets (SHP150D) to the system -- four can be connected at one time -- and they are available. Linksys doesn't offer this feature with its...

genial einfach, einfach genial

überall auf der Welt, wo ich bin, stecke ich das Telefon in einen Router etc. Ich studiere seit Jahren und habe immer die gleiche Festnetznummer. 3.95 Euro Europa Flat, billiger geht es nicht. Leider hat die Skype Version für dieses Telefon nicht ganz...

Auch für Laien geeignet

Habe mir das doch recht teure Gerät gegönnt, da eh ein neues Festnetz Telefon her musste. Ausgepackt Akku (14 Stunden von Netgear gewünscht, habe nach 8 weiter gemacht) geladen. Angeschlossen nach Beschreibung, sonst recht dürftige Beschreibung. Skype...

Firstly let me make a point of stating, this ... 

1) Its very easy to setup

1) Ensure you update to a firmware version 1.0.4.80

I like the fact that I can use Skype without turning on my PC. It is pretty good at making calls. There are some quirks. Some calls don't connect on the first try

I use my Skype phone to make business calls. Occasionally it is necessary to dial access codes after the call is answered. Most of the time the numbers dialled after answering don't register on the other end

I purchased an SPH200D with a SPH150D additio... 

The basic unit works OK.

The documentation is WRONG. Can't register additional handsets.

Started out great. Easy to set up and use. Sk...

Mine just stop working after a while

Combines Landline in/out and Skype in/out in one handset. Does NOT need the PC for Skype connection. Relatively easy to set up. Cordlenss handset with built in Speaker and will take a headset.

Connector to router wiggles and so you can get disconnected if someone jostles the base station. Selection process for landline or Skype can be annoying

Started out great. Easy to set up and use. Skype menu is a bite weird for accessing voicemail but otherwise it was a good device for my wife to keep in touch with family and friends (we live overseas). 3 months later, the thing just stopped working....

Easy set up

Mine just stop working after a while

After the 14 hours charging time, my son and I got this set up (base station plus 2 handsets) in 15 minutes and not a gliche since.. been running two days. I like that the handsets replace the landline handsets ( all in one !) but now everyone in the...

It is frustrating because I can do this using the soft phone on my PC, but not using this "phone".
