Looking good [Posted on 2007-08-06]
I have used the phone hand set for a few months and the quality of the voice communications is very good.

Good phone - Bad Mac driver [Posted on 2007-08-10]
For the first three weeks I was in heaven with this phone - it worked almost flawlessly. Then Apple released an audio update to OS X via Software Update. The free.2 software on my MacBook Pro now does nothing but unexpectedly quit. I contacted Ipevo many times via both email and telephone requesting that they update the free.2 Mac driver software, but they repeatedly and callously replied that it was something I was doing, or something having to do with my computer, when the real issue is their driver software.

So now my free.2 phone is useless - the free.2 software quits unexpectedly every time it's plugged in!

Advice: If you are a Mac person, don't buy Ipevo products - they will not be supported.

Pretty cool phone [Posted on 2008-02-12]
I was a little concerned at first because I waasn't sure how the audio settings would work with iTunes. (I have my computer connected to my stereo.) But the phone came with software that totally resolved that problem. The only thing is that sometimes the phone says that Skype is offline, despite the fact that it's online. When that happens, the phone won't ring, but I can still make and receive calls using the handset, I just have to click on my contacts. Also, for some reason, I can't set my computer to stand-by anymore. When I do, it goes to stand-by for a second, then the phone beeps as it would when I'm turning my computer on. However, the screensaver works fine. The record function works well too, just make sure you tweak the microphone settings. Overall, it's a solid phone that works well.

Excellent companion for mac users [Posted on 2008-04-24]
Hooking up this handset with my intel imac is a no-brainer!

I downloaded the driver from ipevo [...] and in a few miniutes I could start talking with my dad (who's in another country thousands of miles away) through the internet!

I've been using it for about two months and I think this is the best usb handset in the market. It's got echo cancellation so the voice quality is outstanding.

The design is super slick, totally different from those cheap-design ones sold on ebxy. There's a small lcd screen on the handset, it comes in extremely handy when you want to call somebody, and if you are a lazy bone like I am, all you need to do just to browse the contact list through the lcd screen and hit the "call" button without even touching your computer.

By the way, I tested it with my ubuntu linux machine, it worked right off the bat. Oh well, of course those buttons don't work because there's no drivers. But at least it can techincally work as a combination of mic + earphone for any voip soft phones.

For those who are in the market for a usb handset, I highly recommend this one.

Perfect voice quality [Posted on 2008-05-31]
I own a mac, and it's really hard to find Skype gear out there. I love this phone, because it's affordable (firs things first!), it's stylish, and it's got impeccable voice quality. Crystal clear, much better than a rotary phone, with no echo. Love it.
