  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: It works very well, USB powered, works with any regular phone

  Weaknesses: Need to install the latest software

  Overall Evaluation: After installing the latest software that is labeled for Windows Vesta, the devices works without any problem. Since it is USB-powered, it saves an extra slot on my already crowded power bar. I tried the 3-way conference with a regular phone line. It works! I am quite impressed with that. With the small size, it fits very well on my desk.

  Strengths: Easy to setup, Good sound quality, make Skype almost seamless

  Weaknesses: Needs to be connected to a computer (standalone would be much cooler), Made by D-Link (who tends to produce some problem products)

  Overall Evaluation: If you are a big Skype fan and/or purchased the Skype unlimited outgoing calls plan, this device is for you. It is easy to setup and will allow you to make Skype calls via your normal telephone. The nice part is that you are no longer chained to your computer via a headset. (Of course, you could use a wireless headset to give some mobility. But this is even more flexible because any phone can now be a Skype phone.) The biggest downside for me is that it is made by D-Link. Their track record is my eyes in rather marginal. They produce nice products that only last a short time. So far, this product is working well, but I'll be keeping an eye on it to see how it does over time. If you are not scared of D-Link and enjoy Skype, definitely buy this device. Even if you are scared of D-Link, like me, it is a fun device to play with for a long as it lasts.

  Strengths: easy install. works ok. easily connect your skype remotely.

  Weaknesses: sometimes sound is not clear.

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this for the skype in my laptop and it works ok. it is easily to be installed following the manual with the product. It is a very useful stuff to combine this adapter with skype. You can easily control skype remotely, very convenient. You can also make Skype call from your phone. But one point I want to mention here you should not expect the sound quality is as good as your cell phone or land line. sometimes, the sound is not quite clear.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: unknown

  Weaknesses: driver issues

  Overall Evaluation: I may have received a dud but my adapter wouldn't work correctly. Dropped calls, missed calls, etc. I have seen mixed reviews online. Those who can get it to work absolutely love it, but there seem to be a handful of people out there who received very buggy adapters. I'm sending this one back.

  Strengths: FREE calling as long as you have skype account. No need to stay in front of computer to talk.Easy install.

  Weaknesses: I don't know yet>

  Overall Evaluation: It is convenient while student like me study oversea who no need to spend whole lot of money on the phone bill. Usually, we have to stay in front of comp. to chat. With this adapter, it would be movable all around the house doing some cleaning things~ Suggest it for people who have international talking and their parents don't know about computer but still can save money!!

  Strengths: looks nice

  Weaknesses: Drop every single calls i ever made.

  Overall Evaluation: QOS was enabled. and no clue what is wrong with it. Dlink support is horrible and did not do a thing to help this problem. I see from other reviews that it happens on others too. If anyone knows how to solve it. Pls let me know since dlink doesn't know how to fix it yet. I have Optimum so speed it shouldn't be an issue. Tried the most updated version of skype and older versions, same result. uninstall and install the adapter and same thing.

  Strengths: Use Skype with any phone, combine skype with your regular phone system, great features

  Weaknesses: Unstable software when used with new versions of skype, too many buttons to press

  Overall Evaluation: This device is a very good way to integrate your normal phone line with skype. With this you can use skype with any standard phone. I used the spare pairs in the phone line wiring to run the Skype phone network throughout my house. Now every phone in my house can be used to make or receive skype calls. If your computer is off or there is a power failure, the d-link defaults to the normal phone line so you can still use your normal phone in these situations. It offers call waiting, including the ability to accept skype call while you are on the normal phone and vice-versa. There are a few negatives: I tried using the latest version of skype with this and experienced a lot of dropped calls after 3-5 minutes of talking. Their tech support provided a beta driver (1.20). It helped a little, but I switched back to the version of Skype included on the D-link disk (2.0) and haven't had any problems since. I strongly recommend doing this. You have to push a lot of buttons to make skype calls. Program them in your speed dial.

  Strengths: it works, easy install, elegant look

  Weaknesses: sound delay

  Overall Evaluation: Originally, I was skeptic if this product would work well. However, I gave it a try since I needed a phone adapter for my Skype account. I was surprised that it worked reasonably well. It's very easy to install. There were some delays when I made or received a call, but it was still acceptable. Overall, it was a good experience for me.
