Logitech Cordless Internet Handset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I generally like this phone a lot because it is reasonably priced and a good alternative to those very expensive Skype phone/ regular phone combinations.
However I have a few quibbles.
First the good points:
- Generally very good sound quality
- Shows your Skype contacts
- Easy to use
- Very wide range
But there are a few things which can be improved:
- The battery life on this is abysmal. It seems to only last a few hours and even if the phone if completely off, it seems to be completely dead in just a couple of days. They include some generic rechargeable batteries which I replaced with a more known brand - did not help much
- My biggest gripe: It is not dual voltage. This means you have to lug a power converter with you if you go to Europe. I forgot about this on my last trip and plugged in my skype phone when I got to the room, burning out the charger. There is really no excuse these days for not making products that are travel-related not to be dual voltage!
- If Handset is checked on the software interface, you will not be able to hear if you suddenly decide to use skype on the PC. You have to switch it to PC. A minor annoyance but the software should know if you are using skype on the PC without the need to switch
All in all a good product but I would urgently suggest they work on battery life and the dual-voltage issue!
