Whatever happened to the Skype Phone?

This is an email I wrote to one of clients….

‘Having a bit of trouble trying to find a cordless Skype phone, I think the one I brought for your computer is one of the last in the country.  There are a few wireless ones that use a wireless network like the one you have at home, but they are expensive compared to the phone you already have (I’ve had a look and they seem to be $400+)

I’ve found a solution on Trademe.co.nz for $79 but I’m not sure what sort of warranty I will get even though they are brand new.

The alternative is to use a headset like ClearChat Pro USB™ which is $69.81+GST.’

I’ve managed to buy a couple of phones a Philips 312 and a Logtech Cordless Skype Handset.  The Philips has disappeared from this country and seem to have come out in 2006 and the Logitech does not work on Vista.

I’m just curious if the way everyone is using Skype is though headsets or has the rest of the world decided to stop supplying New Zealand?

Finally decided to join the blogging community....I know it' a bit late. I'm Lee, originally from England moved to New Zealand about 4 years ago. Still trying to get over the lack of technology here. Hopefully my blog will unearth some interesting things about technology. At least it keeps me off the streets...

    I have found the same problem. Netgear do a nice wireless which doesn't seem to be available in NZ. but too expensive. Linksys did the cit200 which I still have. It works but not sure whether it is available any more. It used to have some issues where it would stop working and you had to reboot pc to get it to work again.
