not quite sure if its the end to your BT line but they do look good

Take a look here on youtube.com http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=netgear+skype

they have some great videos of this product in action

looks like a great product
wonder if there'll be router compatability issues tho, especially with the cheaper, slightly out of dates ones

having watched one of the vids
I think that it only works on insecure networks at the moment though

but dont quote me on that

just checked another site it says
•Security:
- Hardware-based Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) 40/64-bit & 128-bit, and WPA-PSK

Looks nice but it's very expensive and I'd personally want something that could connect to services other than skype that are much cheaper and I'm not sure this phone can be configured for that.

Lee, yes they do look like they have a little trouble! Although it is supposed to support encryption. If I buy and it does not I will send it back.

Ok guys, any skype users tried skypein? If so does caller ID work on your outgoing calls? If so use of cheap overriders might be possible.
