The Zyxel was originally $200+ and was eventually marked down to $50 after a year on the shelf with almost no sales. I don't see how Netgear plans to avoid the same fate with this phone, though it is a much more attractive device.]]>Apr 20th 2006 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/Apr 20th 2006 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/Apr 20th 2006 11:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/
It would perhaps be a much better plan to buy a (relatively) cheap pocketpc with wifi, then you could browse the web, make skype calls, and handle the web authentication with reasonable ease (not to mention playing movies, listening to music, taking pictures/video, etc). Sure it's a bit bigger than this, but it does so much more...

While the price is a little steep, I'll probably be buying one as I have to travel a lot and will save the money by being able to Skype home. I of course will use my laptop or smartphone - but I need something that looks, feels and smells like a phone to convince the wife to use it. Leaving a machine switched on just so I can call home and use on of those DECT jobs that connect over USB has been seriously considered but the interface to use Skype from the phone has allways put me off.]]>Apr 21st 2006 6:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/Apr 21st 2006 6:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/Apr 21st 2006 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/Apr 21st 2006 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/Apr 21st 2006 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/It has built in wifi.
I put skype on it.
Works like a champ.
Check online forums for that.]]>Apr 21st 2006 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/Apr 21st 2006 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/Apr 22nd 2006 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/Apr 28th 2006 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/ ]]>May 6th 2006 2:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/20/netgears-sph101-skype-wifi-phone-available-for-pre-order/
