This device has serious reliability issues and appears to be unsupported.

There are a few things to consider before deciding to buy this videophone. The phone keeps losing connection to the wireless network and keeps forgetting the wireless password so it can't reconnect automatically. This turns the phone off and stays offline so you can't rely on it to contact anyone using it. I noticed that the fan in the device just wouldn't turn off after a while. During video calls, the video sometimes disappears and is replaced by a green screen. The screen sometimes appearsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Great video calls - but lousy tech support and no WEP support

We have 2 (one at home and one at the office) plus a gift for parents. Overall, the video and voice quality is very good, and the ease of use for someone who isn't a techie is excellent. Here's the bad news: - Asus is still in the 80's when it comes to tech support. I've had several email conversations with someone who barely spoke English and they didn't offer any responses other than "return device". (Asus: I have copies of all these emails.) - Support questions are related to using thisโ€ฆ

  • Brilliantly done

Very convenient for phones and accessories

I am currently touring alone in South Korea, so my children cannot come with me. They moved into my parents' house and I left my computer with them so I could skype with them. Well, I didn't work the way I wanted to. Too many times the computer has crashed due to downloading too many games, downloading a virus, or simply forgetting to leave it on. I bought a Skype videophone from them because it's a simple, specialized device. I don't have to worry about viruses or misconfigurations orโ€ฆ

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 ยฃ5 a month (they actually used the neighbour's wifi). first) and now my wife skype them all the time. It's

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Great videophone! Straight from the future

I bought this product for my parents who live in another city. We used to spend a good 10-20 minutes on the phone just trying to set up a Skype video call - there were always some issues. With ASUS Skype Videophone, the whole process is now a breeze. It always stays connected, and even if the Wi-Fi network goes down, it reconnects once the network is restored. (Update: This isn't always the case, as I sometimes have to manually connect after turning off Wi-Fi.) The battery is small, but itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied for now
Cons
  • I won't say anything

One thing you should know if you have skype number

This is an impressive product in terms of performance: great video, great sound with no echo. However, there is an annoying functionality issue when you have a Skype phone number. MYLO), this Asus called for several minutes before finally realizing that no one was on the other side. I hope ASUS can update the software to fix this issue before I lose patience. Another potential issue is related to ASUS quality control: I ordered 2 and one of them has a bad display. The picture is like looking at

  • . Cool product

Welcome to the future of telecommunications!

At a price comparable to a cell phone, this $219 device does what we've seen in sci-fi movies since the '80s. Or was it the 70s? I used Netgear SPH200D. but i bought it when it was cheap. about $120. The price skyrocketed right after purchase, and right now it's a MUCH better deal than this audio-only phone from Netgear. The device boots in seconds, logs in automatically and you are connected to the network in 1 minute! Of course, you'll have to go through the initial Wi-Fi password and Skypeโ€ฆ
