With two people living here, if one happens to leave The second brutal truth was learning that the wireless signal in this area of San Francisco was spotty and we were often dropping our mobile calls. It was so bad that we had to map out areas of our home where you could get a signal The solution I came up with was to have the front door buzzer linked to my Skype account. The obvious problem here was I always had to have my laptop handy, which sadly resembled the new Zune Phone. And then, like an answer from some technology prayer, came the announcement from a number of vendors that cordless Skype phones which didn't require a connection to a computer were on the way.
At last, to be able to own a device like this was thrilling! Finally, a seamless merger of the Web 2. Unsolicited Advice As for the hardware, I'd say it was a pretty good first attempt, yet with all the developments we've seen with cordless phones in the past 20 years, I expected a little more. However, it solves the problem I had with not having a stationary phone line.
So all in all, I'm relatively pleased. We obviously have some room for improvement and I think if I were Belkin I'd look closer at regular cordless phones for inspiration than at cell phones. Final Thoughts Regardless of my gripes at the hardware I'd say it was a good purchase and can recommend it for early adopters.
I would also say that this technology, in general, is ready for prime-time, and if I were the Telcos I'd be sweating bullets. For the life of me I can't figure out why the major phone companies let a company like Skype get acquired by ebay? I mean seriously, hedge your bets people.
There were too many call drops due to the handset completely losing network and then finding it again in a few seconds. This got quite annoying.

Below is a brief description of the same problem I have had on all 3, a problem that could easily cause the user to assume a poor battery life. In a nutshell, every one of these phones I have personally used for an extended period of time days has the same problem.
The problem presents itself as if the phone were battery had discharged and the phone is dead. In reality, it is my observation that the phone will lockup and draw an extremely large amount of current from the battery, to the point the battery quickly and fully discharged.
It appears to the user that the battery has simply discharged. The only cure I have found when any of these phones are in this mode is to momentarily remove the back plate and remove the battery, then reinsert it. If you have caught the problem in the early part of this lockup and rapid discharge cycle, the phone will then turn on after the battery is reinserted, and appear to operate normally until the next lockup or the remainder of the battery discharges. So, what are the clues when this problem is occurring on your Belkin Skype Phone?
First, if you catch the phone when it has first gone into this mode, the phone gets very warm to the touch, particularly in the area of the battery while the battery is rapidly discharging. When the battery is momentarily removed at this point, it will be very warm, if not hot to the touch.
