Reviews of the Philips VOIP8411B (Skype)

    CNET Review

    April 16, 2007

    The Good: The VOIP8411B Skype phone allows Internet and landline calls on one cordless handset; there's no connection to your PC required for Internet calls; it's relatively simple to set up, has a slick design, and its phone book stores up to 500 Skype contacts; you can add three handsets (four total) to the system; there is a built-in speakerphone on the handset.

    The Bad: The VOIP8411B can't answer a landline call while putting a Skype call on hold (and vice versa), nor can it conference between the two lines.

    The Bottom Line: Slick design and mostly solid performance sets the Philips VOIP8411B apart from competing Skype dual-mode phones.
