I bought two of these devices one for me and then one for my mother. I have used it extensively, just about every day for 12+ months. It is a great product and really useful for regular skype calls which are now unencumbered by the PC. I have it on my desk beside the computer. The speaker-phone function really works well. I just press a button when I want to answer an incoming Skype call and speak. For outgoing calls I mostly use the recent callers list. Using my computer for Skype calls I was always scrambling around for my headset. Laptop speakers tend to be not quite good enough for a natural conversational call.If I need to open a spreadsheet or address book record or type the last few words of an email or boot the computer up or something during the call,

Bought the Asus Skype videophone as a Xmas present from the family for my elderly mother-in-law to keep in touch with the grand kids in Houston & KL. I bought it on Amazon & took it round to her house in Aberdeenshire, set it up with all our family Skype contacts, plugged it into the mains, a wired connection, a single port router modem to connect it to the internet & my wife had arranged the broadband internet connection (Plusnet because there was no contract minimum term - in case it all went pear shaped). Since she has never used a PC or laptop I didn't want either because I knew I'd spend every weekend showing her how to do anything & keeping the anti virus etc. up to date.

I don't normally review items but have felt compelled to make an exception in this case. We have recently moved to New Zealand from the UK and bought this phone for my parents in law who don't have a computer and would never feel comfortable operating one anyway. The controls for the Asus are really staright forward, so they have been able to pick up how to use it with no problem at all. We now speak to them every day, which has made the move a lot easier for us and them, and their grandchildren. Don't worry about all the stuff about there being no battery. The phone works absolutely fine from the mains and my parents in law have found absolutely no need to move it from away from the mains socket anyway.

We got one of these Asus video phones for our elderly parents in the UK, so we could have video calls from here in Oz. We got BT to put broadband in, a sister plugged the cable from the phone to the router and we started the calls. It really is that easy to set up. I had already created a Skype account so for the first time use only they had to enter a username and passwordThe quality of the video at my end is excellent, they say the same their end. Our parents call us by pressing our name on the screen then pushing one button, its that easy. To answer a call they press one button twice.This product is excellent for technophobes and the elderly, it really is one or two buttons to press once its set up,

I bought one last year for my 90 year-old father using Skype as its simpler to operate than a computer and you can leave it switched on all the time. It was so good that I recently bought one for myself. The first one had an internal battery so you could unplug it from the mains and walk around with it. The battery life was 15 minutes. I naturally assumed that the second one would have a battery but it didn't. Check the small print! You cannot buy these batteries so I have a model which can only be used when plugged into the mains. Some suppliers do include the battery. Presumably the one not sending the battery is increasing his profit.

We moved with our 3 kids to the USA in 2009, the kids are now 3, 1 and 6. I have purchased 4 of these all together, one for us, one for each grandparent and recently this new touch screen for my sister and her 3 children. We use them every day and more importantly the kids and grandparents use them without our help to talk with their cousins, nana and grandad.They are so easy to set up, even my mother a self confessed techno phobe managed. Free to use and an absolute must for families who live a long distance away. Our kids see their grand parents twice a year but as they see and speak to them every day it's like they were never separated. Our 3 purchased in 2009 have never gone wrong with daily use.

bought this for my in-laws who are over 70 and never really used computers. within a few days they love it and start calling us and their relatives with it. good video and sound quality. touch interface is easy to use. it was easy to login with an existing skype account and see all their contacts there. perfect for those who need a rich video calling experience without the hassle of a computer.
