    Duration of ownership: 1 Months

    Strengths: I did not find any strength. It was just too bad.

    Weaknesses:The whole peace is weak.

    Overall Evaluation: I live in a one bedroom apartment and the phone looses connection the whole time. Sometimes, it does not ring and I had to run to the computer to answer a call. I returned the belkin I purchased. I would not recommend.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Easy to use, easy to setup. Small and compact: just a candy-bar cellphone. Looks great. Dual voltage 110/220 AC adapter great for Europe/Asia (but only has US plugs)

    Weaknesses:Mediocre caller volume. Short talktime of around 45min to 1hr between charge. No reset button: need to remove battery to reset. Only has US plugs: need adapter for Europe/Asia. No chat capability.

    Overall Evaluation: It's a great concept and design in principal but falls short in reality. The battery life for voice calls is limited to about 1hr. You can only make voice calls on this device: You cannot "text" chat with your Skype buddies. Another warning: It does not have a built-in web browser and you will not be able to access WIFI hotspots that require web-based login/authentication. However, it does support Boingo hotspots (which I don't have an account). There's no speakerphone on this device. Volume from callers seem softer than most cellphones. The LCD is not very clear outdoors. I like the ability to scan for strongest WIFI signals on this device.

    Duration of ownership: 7 Days

    Strengths: Good design, easy to install and operate

    Weaknesses:Battery life, only the battery life.

    Overall Evaluation: From the moment I opened the box, utilizing the Belkin Skype phone was seamless. I charged the battery, turned it on, synchronized it to my wireless system and it has worked perfectly ever since. The size and design are great. The only problem is the battery life. Belkin advertises that it has a two hour battery life, which i presumed to be talk time. Unfortunately, I can talk no more than 30 minutes before the battery dies, and without any warning. I would much prefer to not have to keep it plugged in to use on a regular basis.
