No-good phone
This phone worked for a while but then some of the keys started malfunctioning and was very hard to make calls out of it. I got an IPEVO and it has worked 100% better than this one so far.
Not a good experience for me March 13, 2010

So....I ordered my first SMC phone from my seller and it arrived DOA for various reasons (5 or 6). They were quite nice and sent me an RMA and we exchanged phones. The second phone I received was not a new phone, but a used phone in a sealed box. I am sure the previous owner would have appreciated me receiving a handset with all his SKYPE log-in info intact on the handset, if he knew (plus other data). Anyway, I wiped the phone and restarted with high hopes. I used the phone for a bit but then it started going haywire. The display won't turn off so it's like a night light all the time. Now, just tonight the number pad has become a slot machine. When you want to input a single digit you would expect to push once and get the first digit, twice for the next etc....typical text input from a handset. Not any more....now when I push a key it scrolls through the available characters with great speed and where it lands no one knows. You have to be quite skillful to let off the key and get the right character. It's very hard inputting a password since you can't see the character you entered..:-) So to close...my experience with this SMC product has been very poor. I will never consider SMC again or another product from the seller, nothing.

I purchased the phone about a year ago. I used it for about 2 months and got so frustrated with it. Call quality was ok. Not the best, but nothing really to complain about. Battery life was ok too. I have had cordless phones with better and worse battery life.
My biggest complaint was the phone not getting incoming calls. It seemed to not notice about 50% of the phone calls coming in. Friends were telling me they were calling and I didn't have any missed calls on the phone. I dialed my self numerous times and sometimes it would ring and sometimes it wouldn't. I though it might be wireless problems, so I took it to a couple of my friends homes and brought it into work. Same problem. It just randomly decided which calls it was going to grab and which it wasn't.
It was too late to return it at this point and when I bought it I paid iirc $120ish bucks for it. The best use I got out of it was using it as a baseball. Although not part of my review it does not hold up well to a Louisville Slugger. By far the biggest satisfaction of my SMC purchase.
Unfortunately because of this phone I will not buy/try another SMC product. I really think for the money these things cost they should be flawless when they are sold to the public, but we as consumer are ok and I guess expect technology to have problems and we deal with it and pay ridiculous amounts of money for "works in progress"
 Pros: it sometimes works. Cons: no text chat. May 28, 2009

The more fully Skype functional iPod Touch app would be ideal, except it does not stay active in the background to receive calls. So... if you must settle for an alternative, use this phone. The drawback is you don't get full Skype functionality and cannot send text messages (neither Skype chat, nor SMS).
I could not get the phone to connect to my WPA2 PSK (AES) protected access point, nor WPA, and had to dumb down my security to WEP. However, the specifications state that WPA is supported, so I may try again. (Let us know if you got this working).
UPDATE:
When it works, it's OK, but often, the phone looks like it is connected, but misses calls and then reports the missed call. I don't know why it is able to report the missed call but not capture the call. Also, yes it does freeze-up, requiring the battery to be removed and replaced.
QUESTION:
Are all Skype Wifi phones problematic, or are the others more trouble-free?

I bought this phone with high hopes of being able to use it like a portable phone around the house. I soon realized that the battery life was so short that I would have to talk with it plugged in or risk hanging up on people. I wish I would have bought a usb phone since they are much cheaper and the result (no portability) would have been the same.
It is easy to set up and the interface is very simple, but I would definitely not choose to buy it again if given the choice.
