What other people think about NETGEAR Skype WiFi Phone - Wireless VoIP phone - IEEE 802.11g (Wi-Fi) - Skype?
Good quality phone but could use a few simple improvements
I am very satisfied with this phone. The documentation was good, the screen is nice, and the phone is designed to be easy to use. I have to say that the phone's user interface is easier to use than the original computer based Skype interface. That said, there are a few minor improvements that can be done in a software update for the phone that would make the phone perfect.
1) In the USA, if a person has SkypeOut and they enter in a 7 digit, the phone should prepend their country code and area code automatically. Having to type this in every time you make a phone call does not make sense.
2) When you have received a voice-mail message or missed a call, there needs to be a notification on the main screen.
3) A keylock would be nice so you can put the phone in your pocket.
4) A simple text only web browser for getting past agreement pages at Internet cafe's and hotels would make the phone useable on the road.
