Hey,

I just brought a voip off ebay with a lcd screen, Just woundering what are your reviews on it?

Never used one, but you can't complain for £15!

Only one thing pops out to me - USB1.1 compatible. I would have thought it would use USB2 (unless it means it is backwards compatable with 1.1...?).

Let us know how it turns out, I've been meaning to have a play with voip but not got round to it yet.

Looks like a really naff 80s TV "remote", lol. Never used a USB VoIP handset, prefer to stick to my 7960 and Plantronics headet, handsets are no good when you're trying to type and talk at the same time.

I tried out a handset before but I find my Plantronics DSP-500 to be much better quality and like Karl said it's easier to type with at the same time without getting a neck strain holding the phone on your shoulder

I have a pair of headphones with a mic on already

, For gaming use only

But i need a phone for normal use for when i cant be bothered to plug the headphones into the socket hehe

I was also looking at a wireless bluetooth headset http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wireless-Bluet...QQcmdZViewItem

Karl · 2nd March 2006

Yeah, I was talking about a proper call center quality headset though, not the kind they sell in Currys

Mine is permenantly plugged in, but the phone has a deadicated socket for a headset. If you're going to be sat near enough to use BlueTooth then I don't see the point in having the hassle of having to keep it charged when you can just use a decent corded one.

the sound on its great and its very clear, took 2 mins to install, Keypad only works with skyple etc, Cant seem to get it to work with x-lite yet tho,

Is the cancel button really spelled with two L's?

(perhaps it's just my eyes or the jpeg artifacting)

Dexxa · 4th March 2006

hehe, It doesnt have that on this phone, Has a little picture of a red phone

Looks good Dexxa, i've recently turned my iPAQ 4150 into a VoIP phone, via the use of Skype, a London 0208 number, and the use of a redirection service to obtain an 0845 / 0870 number.

It's a pretty good setup and the call clarity is very good, surprised me how good it actually was.

Dexxa · 8th March 2006

Very nice,

Type thing i want to get someday

LayerFour · 8th March 2006

Been having a few issues with it today, the microphone seems to of changed it's setting and i can't figure out how to change it back, as people on the other end of the line cant hear me properly, i'm faint...

So yeah i think you may have the better solution Dexxa

Ive just come out of hospital so my spelling may be alittle bit off,

Settings keep changing itself, It maybe a ghost thats changing it hehe, Must be a software glitch maybe?
