All VOIP / Internet Phones

The Bottom Line: The Voiis Mini Pocket Messenger is an easy way to make and answer VoIP calls, and the ability to stream audio from the PC is a nice bonus.

The Bottom Line: GE's dual-mode Skype phone/cordless handset may not be the sexiest model out there, but its ability to toggle between Skype and landline calls--and even do three-way conferencing between lines--sets it apart from the current crop of dual-mode Skype phones.

The Bottom Line: The Netgear SPH200D enables phone calls on Skype and traditional landlines--but it falls a bit short of competing models on design and features.

The Bottom Line: The Linksys iPhone CIT400 is a capable Skype dual-mode phone, but it doesn't include the expansion options offered by competing models.

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

The Bottom Line: The Spracht Aura Mobile BT is a great, portable, multifunctional speakerphone that can be used with cell phones, VoIP calls, or just a normal cordless phone. Its excellent sound quality and ability to be used in the car as a hands-free device make it even more compelling. However, the lack of a USB charger and the inability to make calls from the device may not be worth the high price tag.

Specs: Microphone External, USB VoIP desktop hands-free, 9 oz, Mono, Sub-mini phone 2.5 mm, Volume control, Full-duplex support, Noise canceling circuit, Microphone on/mute switch

The Bottom Line: The Prestige P-2000W VoIP Wi-Fi phone is expensive and complicated to set up, and overall, the inconveniences outweigh the potential benefits.
