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

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.

Is the cancel button really spelled with two L's?
(perhaps it's just my eyes or the jpeg artifacting)

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.
