DualPhone combines VOIP and POTS in a cordless handset

3 Long cordless range and excellent call quality for both Skype and POTS calls

4 Support for new Skype features like SkypeOut and SkypeIn calling

5 Support for multiple handsets with independent charging bases

What we didn't like:

We wish the handset had a speakerphone. With customer service hold queue times on the rise, it's becoming increasingly important to be able to put the phone down while waiting. An integrated speakerphone is an important feature.

Only one Skype account is supported at a time, so if you're a 2 PC household and you and your spouse have different Skype accounts, you'll need multiple DualPhones. The way the device connects to your PC (via USB) and how it uses an actual version of Skype running on your PC limits it to only supporting calling features that Skype supports itself. So for now, until the Windows version of Skype allows you to monitor more than one account at a time, you can't listen for calls from two Skpe accounts simultaneously.

There's no Macintosh support. Currently the DualPhone only works with the Windows version of Skype, so if you're using Skype on your Macintosh, your currently out of luck. RTX has indicated that they may support OSX in the future, but haven't set a release date, so don't hold your breathe while waiting.
