Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We bought this for my parents so that they can see their new Grand-daughter (our daughter). My parents are beyond the age where they feel comfortable in learning. They cant use a computer and are scared to even try! They have wifi internet in the home though!
Anyhow, we were able to program this to log into their wifi automatically. We also set it to automatically log them on and also set it to automatically open their camera when they are on a skype call. We set it to only accept calls from people in their approved contacts. We set it so that it did not automatically answer calls so that they could "compose" themselves before manually answering the calls. We manage their skype account from our computer and make sure that no nutters get into their contacts list. All the settings are saved even if the unit is switched off.
All they have to do is plug the device into the electrical outlet and turn it on (button on the back). It then automatically connects to the wifi and logs them in. They then leave it on all the time, (it has a default power saving mode that automatically wakes it up when a call comes in and goes to sleep after a few mins of inactivity). To answer calls they press the green button and hang up with the red button. Making calls is a little more complicated but will still be considered super easy for most people.
Screen size is smaller than a laptop screen but the quality of the image is the same as Skype on any good computer. Speakers are more than good enough for skype to sound as good as it ever can.
The battery is stated to last only 20mins and you would be lucky to get the full 20 mins. However, the battery will last long enough to just unplug it from power while you move it to a more comfortable place for making your call. For the size of the machine, I would have expected it to work for several hours and this is the only reason why I have given it 4 stars instead of 5
I am going to set up a webcam in our babies nursery and use one of these Skype phones as baby monitor in the kitchen..
