A waste of 2 hours no real plot and can't believe it won or was nominated for anything. If someone does like it I am happy for you but I would rather watch paint dry.

Rating:
The PowerCenter was easy to set up. Basically just plug in. Really did not notice in any change in picture quality after attaching the cable. The cable connections are in a slightly awkward spot, would recommend attaching them first, then plugging everything else in. Everything came on time.

Rating:
It is easy to learn. It just takes using it a while to find everything you want. It also updates your old Office files to the newer version. Our family is very happy with it, especially since it can be put on up to 3 computers. Great price.

Three Phones in One
There are three ways to use the SPH-200D. For no cost at all you can make Skype-to-Skype calls anywhere in the world.

You can also get a SkypeIn account for a small fee, which gives you an internet phone number, allowing friends to call you from any phone, anywhere, anytime. With the SPH-200D you can do all of this without fooling with software or plugging headsets into your PC. It's all there in the palm of your hand.

And of course the SPH-200D is also a traditional cordless phone.

You can save $100's
6/28/2008
I just got rid of my landline service and using this Skype service should pay for the purchase of the Netgear handset in about 5 months.
Here is what my situation was:
Paying for a "measured service" line through Qwest. This allowed for up to 180 minutes per month for only $9.95, however the caller ID feature added an additional $7.95 and after all taxes were said & done my minimum bill was around $25.99 (Hmm $9.95 plus $7.95... that should be less than $18... Oh wait the taxes!!! (What a rip)
I also had a Virgin Mobile phone, where I have an older service, so was paying $0.25 for first ten minutes per day then $0.10 per minute after. I had this set up so I only feed $5 per month into the phone - $15 every 90 days - Obviously I am not a big cell phone user. (Of course if the money runs dry, I had to re-feed with a $20 top-up.)
Also I am not from US originally, so I call the UK to chat with the folks, hence Skype was something I already used for a great rate of $0.021 per minute.
Now recently I have (upgraded) changed my phone services so that....
Dropped the Qwest service saving at least $25.99 month
Realized that the Virgin Phone allows you to earn FREE minutes - up to about 75 per month (71 just using the internet) - using their Sugar Mama service. You watch up to 5 minutes of ads per day & they give your 5 free minutes of phone time. (Really you just click on the ad to start then you go do something else for a minute i.e. check your e-mail - rinse & repeat 5 times.) Do this for about 15 days of the month and get free airtime.
Signed up for the Skype subscription for unlimited calls in the US. The subscription only cost $2.95 per month, plus they gave me a Euro's worth of calling, which worked out to a credit of $1.53 - This of course means that in my case, they just gave me 70+ minutes of calls to my folks in the UK. Sweet!! (I hope I get this every month)
Subscribed to the Skype phone number, so people can call me directly on Skype, or.... here's the really great thing..... Skype will forward the call to my cell phone after it attempts to connect using the Skype number, so now I can just give out my Skype number and if people don't reach me there, i.e. I'm out of the house, the call will come to my cell. Due to the fact that I was part of the subscription service, the Skype phone number only costs $24 for a full year.
So previously my monthly charge, at best, would be the $25.99 from Qwest, plus the $5 from Virgin, which in effect wouldn't give me much more that 200 minutes per month, based on using 1 minute per day for 20 days on Virgin. (Of course for a little web time per day for about 15 days you can get 70+ minutes free)
Today I spent $99 for the Netgear phone and my new monthly charges will be:
$2.95 per month for unlimited calls in the US (including approx credit of $1.53 per month (70 + mins) towards call my family/friends in the UK. Hopefully I get this credit every month!)
$2 per month for the Skype phone number that people can call me on and will forward to my cell.
$5 per month (based on $15 per 90 days) towards my Virgin Cell Phone. Plus with a little work earning 70+ minutes of free calls per month.
Sooo a total of $9.95 per month, provided that my cell use/calling the UK doesn't exceed it's limits. This means I'm saving at a minimum $21 per month. In 5 months time the new Netgear handset will be paid for!!! Then I'm gonna save $252 per year!!!! Thank you Skype!!!!!!
I also like that it takes AAA batteries - Or do I? I started using it today without charging up the batteries that came with it, just put in two new ones. I do notice that it seemed to use them up pretty quick, but maybe that cuz I was messing around with it soo much. But it is nice to think, that if the unit can keep working for a few years, I won't have to worry about trying to locate a special battery for it.
So far the communications have been real good - No dropped calls - Sound quality pretty good. Not choppy in speech. I guess I should reserve judgement until I've been using it a while, but the anticipated savings make me want to post this, so that you all can see how much you can save. I was already using a budget version of the regular phone line, so some of you stand to save even more than me!
Setup was sooo easy. Had it up and running before I could finish my Subway sandwich! Haven't even made use of the handset cradle - as mentioned - just inserted two regular (non rechargable) AAA batteries in it and was making calls within minutes
OK drawbacks - I did notice that it kinda sucked for Contacts - I may not know how to do this, - but to have to "scroll" through your list as opposed to maybe creating a list of frequently used numbers versus the ones I maybe call once a month?? I ended up deleting a bunch of my contacts and just saving their numbers in Excel to avoid seeing them.
Picky Picky, but why is the minimum backlight a minute - I would prefer a few seconds to preserve battery life
I have noticed (already) that the touch tones for use with automated systems doesn't work well (it often/mainly doesn't work at all). But I guess I'm willing to go back and use a headset and Laptop if I need to make that kind of call. Not a biggie (for me).
I probably would have continued to use Skype via the internet with a headset, but my wife had no interest in this. This is the real reason why this was necessary for our house, however, I can see how much easier this will be to use, what with the ability to wander around the house and not have to wait for the laptop to power up/have headset plugged in etc. maybe I'm just becoming lazy!!!

Easy to setup and simple to use
5/21/2008
I wanted to buy a Skype phone for a long time. I waited till prices were reasonable.

I have had this phone for over 3 weeks and it was been very good.
Setup: Really easy. I connected an ethernet cable (Internet connection ) the base station and powered it up. I powered up the cradle that charges the cordless phone. I logged into Skype on the cordless phone. Setup a few things such as use Skypeout as the preferred outgoing calling service and i was up. I could see my contacts list and make calls to skype contacts and using skype out. I even used the phone to make skypeout calls to India. The clarity was very good.

This is an excellent instrument and worth the price.

Very Impressed with Netgear SPH 200D
5/12/2008
I have one Huge complaint about this phone...everytime I buy one and travel overseas, I end up giving it away to someone because they fall in love with it. 2 in the last month. I am now purchasing 3 more. One for Mom, Dad and hopefully one for me (If I don't end up giving it away as well).

Simple to use and install!

The only trouble I ever have is that it occasionally doesn't connect to the network. The simple way to fix that is unplugging the power cord from the base station for 10 seconds and then pluging it back in and I am back in business.

I have a Skypein number and people call me at a local TX number when I am actually on a different continent. I just gave the last one to my buddy that lives in Shanghai and he purchased a U.S. number so that his customers in the US don't have to pay when calling him in China. I am still amazed that I can talk to people all over the world for 2-3 cents per minute.

Great Skype phone! Easy installation.
4/15/2008
I have used Skype for a couple of years now. I use the Skype service primarily to keep in touch with my family in Europe. For a while, I tried to get by using Skype with my laptop, but more often than not we would run into problems with echoes or other noise on the line. Since I bought the Netgear SPH-200D, I have not had any problems with voice quality. The speakerphone is great and will pick up voices from across the room when other family members want to chime in.

Like other reviewers have pointed out, administration of contacts is greatly simplified if you stick to doing that on a computer. Your contact list is downloaded to the phone when you sign in using your Skype ID and password. If you have used Skype before, installation should not take more than a few minutes.

With this phone, I never hesitate to use Skype for my international calls anymore.

Would be great if it worked
4/8/2008
"Unavailable" or busy tone followed by "Sorry call failed!" are the most frequent responses to an attempt to call out using SkypeOut. We routinely miss incoming calls.

Even just going through the menus, "Unavailable" is a frequent response. Maybe one out of four times can you actually get the cordless unit to do what you wish. I'm just 15 feet away from the base unit and they can't communicate.

For this to pass as a telephone, it is going to have to be considerably more reliable. You pick up a phone and use it and it works. This thing just doesn't do that.

It's always an adventure. Sometimes it works--mostly not. Clearly this product is not ready for wide-spread adoption.

We've used Skype as our only phone for over a year and it is an exercise in daily frustration. The only land-line alternative here is a morass of totally unacceptable business practices, or we would have abandoned this product in the first week. For the price, extremely disappointing.
