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 be added...

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.

"Great Combination of Features"

By JBAnder (cnet.com)

After the 14 hours charging time, my son and ... 

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
