Strengths: Easy setup. Easy to use. Easy volume control. Works anywhere I walk with it (around the house and outside on our deck. All around great VOIP phone.
Weaknesses:None that I have found yet.
Overall Evaluation: I highly recommend this phone. It worked great from the get go. I thought long and hard about the cost and didn't have any past experience with VOIP phones, so I didn't know what to expect when I finally ordered it to use with SKYPE. I have been very pleased.

Strengths: It works very well.It has a slick design.It is easy to use.Using skype saves you a lot of money.
Weaknesses:The quality of call is not very good. The voice sounds weak.There's a lot of hiss in the background.
Overall Evaluation: My parents should dial a long distance number to reach several times a week. But it is not a real long distance call. We tried Yahoo voice chat (free) a lot of times but the problem was that we had to use our PC for that. I wanted to find a way to remove the necessity to use a computer. The VOIP8411B/37 DECT VOIP Phone System was definitely the answer. Although the call quality is not as good as Yahoo (however is acceptable) but it serves its purpose.

Overall Evaluation: I just got this product and I am so happy to try this new product. The phone is easy to install and get use. If your house can support enough bandwide, it's really good stuff for you to talk with your friend and family. Also, the voice quality is so good that you can rely on it.

Strengths: An excellent, economical, elegant and ergonomic solution to the problem of exhorbitant telephony expense.
Weaknesses:Objectively, considering the purpose of the product, I haven't found any weaknesses yet. Subjectively, I feel the handset is a little small for me.
Overall Evaluation: I wanted to save a relative from having to pay almost a $1000 USD a year for a landline connection. My solution to the problem was VOIP. I decided to use Skype as I have used it in the past via computer. Many hours of research led me to Philips 8411B/37 system. Setup was very easy and took no time at all. Before I had my relative register with Skype, I just connected the landline to the 8411B/37; and found the reception to be good. After registering with Skype, the VOIP line's reception was just as good. As far as the voicemail feature, I've had trouble with it; but I believe this has more to do with the Skype network have temporary trouble than with the 8411B/37 having trouble.

Strengths: provides wireless for skype
Weaknesses:popping sounds when calling other systems (like conference calling systems that you may use for work)
Overall Evaluation: i only use the skype portion of the phone so i cant comment on the land line portion.the phone does seem to work fine and from the handset calls seem perfect. however, i have noticed popping sounds or slight cutaway issues when calling certain people or networks. ive tried to make sure this wasnt a connection issue and i have to assume its not the other persons issue since they only hear popping when they get calls from me with this phone over skype.when i call them with skype on my computer, everything seems fine.
