Review on πŸ“ž ASUS White SV1TW Skype Video Phone with Touchscreen by Samantha Hervey

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Really great product

Well, with a lot of great ideas, if you have to explain why they're great in more than one sentence, people just go nuts. your loss. This is an amazing device and it really works for non-technical users. My elderly relatives have literally no experience or interest in technology, no computer in the house etc. But we took one of them over to the UK and set up a basic internet connection for Β£5 a month (they actually used the neighbour's wifi). first) and now my wife skype them all the time. It's ridiculously easy for them to use since they're very basic touchscreens and all it does is Skype video. This has to be one of the best deals. The level and quality of communication have changed significantly. I've been using it for 18 months now with no problems. The screen is big enough even for mature eyes, the sound is loud enough. There are friends who have used it for their seniors in India and for parents in the US. It's used *every day* for up to an hour to keep in touch. zero problems. Connected via WiFi and never had any problems. It's that simple for my elderly mother-in-law: my wife or her sisters have a Skype call and my mother-in-law only has to touch the screen to answer the call. That's all. She doesn't have to scroll through the menu to connect or think about how to hang up. It is difficult. If she really needs to make a call, she simply makes a short regular call to ask her daughter(s) to make the call. Easy. I'm ordering another (it's only $159 from Revain at the moment) as a backup because we can't imagine not having this device right now - and (shockingly) no other manufacturer has understood the elegance of it.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
