  3 Skypephone

  I don't believe it supports Skype-out, so your skype calls are limited to those on PCs as they want the telephone revenue for themselves.  Kinda limits its use IMHO.

  Netgear Skype Phone

  There are three of these out: Netgear, SMC, and Belkin.  They are share one deficiency, as they don't have a web browser so you can't enter logon details for a pay-to-use access point like T-mobile at Starbucks for example.  That would be very useful in the field, and I'll wait for the next gen of these phones to buy one.  A cheaper alternative is to get a USB  to RJ-11 interface box,  hook it to an old PC, and plug it into a cordless phone. I have this setup in California and Hornsby and it works great.  You can walk around your house, and a muliple handset phone will give coverage in many rooms.
