A frontline in the pioneers of Wifi Voip phones. Good choice for a strictly wifi voip only phone.

Pros: Crystal clearity conversation. Works great with Voip Companies who permit unlocked phones such as Race Technologies a Great Voip provider a preferred Choice of Linksys.

Cons: Still a bit buggy, screen almost lite on fire! Small Screen for thumbnail browser and no keyboard. Pfft.. High decibal is piercing on conversations

Review: Great phone but don't throw away your land line or cell just yet. Relatively inexpensive for a wifi voip phone. Strong leader in wireless technologies Linksys is an inovator. Shame it's full potential is not realized or used in this phone. Sigh...
Did I mention the webcam? No camera though or accesory "WHAT" :-/ Hmm...
