You can’t say the phones “work” except for the “buttons.” Without the “buttons” working, you can’t dial from the phones. It’s just a replacement for the speaker and mike.

Actually the phone works with both skype and xlite (and presumably others). The buttons only work in skype though.

This phone is for Skype only at the moment. Skype seem to be tying in all compatible products exclusively to their brand at the moment. The Cyberphone K was compatible with loads of providers but now the Cyberphone W only works with Skype.

Does anyone know what the other Ipevo products are like?

So --- has anyone tried this phone? Any reviews?

I'll be in San Jose at the end of the month and might swing by there and pick this sucker up --- if it works okay .... :)

Audio quality better than conventional Skype?

Krzysztof and Paul,

This is completely off subject and I apologize for that, but… I am also living in Warsaw and I was wondering if there are any locations here that sell any Macintosh hardware/software? You can reply to me at slittle@free.fr.

Thanks, scott

Krzysztof, let me know if it arrives, and then works. I'm also in Warsaw.

Cheers

I’ve spotted another device that works with Macs. Check http://www.cuphone.com/products/usbtorj11/RJ11%20adaptor-Dual.htm I’ve ordered one and I’m still waiting until it arrives here in Warsaw, Poland.

It would be nice to have these phones cordless now. The whole point of buying an additional physical device is to break away from the PC!

Does this work with other VoIP services like SIPPhone? Or is it Skype only?

[...] My friend Om points to a Mac friendly Skype Phone. I’m definitely going to see if I can get one. [...]

That's pretty amusing, as the this phone works fine in Skype for Windows WITHOUT a driver. The driver is more of an app that enables the buttons. The handset installs as a USB Audio device that Skype can use with easy.

Is what they're describing a real driver, or just an app for mapping the buttons?

Now they just need a way to magnetically attach it to the left side of your iMac.

BTW, I would hope that this handset can work with all VoIP apps, not just Skype.

Mac friendly Skype phone

There is finally a USB Skype phone available that is touting Mac compatibility. The IPEVO Free-1 looks great and definitely wouldn’t look out of place attached to a Mac. It’s priced at $30 on their website, but you have to buy them in lots...
