GE - Skype - Certified - 2 in 1 Internet & Standard Phone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had a bit of a time finding a decent phone for use with my skype until I found this one. I keep my home phone to no long distance and of course cell phones only allow so many "anytime" minutes. I bought a year of skype and was very pleased with quality over a headset using the sound card through the computer but I did not desire to be tethered to the computer each time I needed to make a call. The first cordless skype phone I bought was horrendous (read my review of it also) and was becoming discouraged. I could not understand what is so complicated about getting decent quality from a cordless skype phone when you can so easily from a regular cordless phone.

I bought this phone not expecting much but still hopeful. I was pleasantly surprised. At first it was not the greatest as I kept getting drops in my calls that I never got using the sound card in the computer. I was using version 3.5 of the skype software and decided to try downgrading the software to 2.5. That was the trick, now this phone delivers great quality calls with no drops. This phone can also be used as a regular phone but I have not used or tried it that way as I am pleased with what I already have.

Using the 2.5 version of skype I say this phone is worth the money, and I almost forgot that it uses AAA rechargables (included) but if you need quick power you can put regular AAA in to make a call (just don"t forget to remove them before placing the phone back in the charging base.

You do need to have an AC outlet close for the base, I mention this since many are powered solely through the USB but this one is not.

I'm pleased with the quality I get from this phone and recommend to anyone looking for a good cordless skype phone.

Logitech diNovo Cordless Desktop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this cordless set for several days now. Here are my thoughts:

First the bad news. There could be better quality control on this. The first unit I purchased had a right-arrow key that would not work properly (all other keys worked fine). Another reviewer of this model here said that the space bar did not work properly on their unit. I liked everything else so much, I returned mine and got another unit, which is now working properly. The only other negatives I can mention are: (a) the temperature on the numeric keypad ALWAYS reads 77 degrees; (b) the Media key on the numeric keypad always seems to launch the default media player, no matter what I set it to (the media key on the full keyboard works fine).

Now the good news. I love the sleek look and modular design of this set, and it happens to match my HP Pavillion Notebook perfectly. I love the small USB receiver. I love the profile and tactile feel of the flat keyboard. I love the features that let you use this both on a desktop (in my case a docking station) or on the road with your laptop. The mouse is the least sexy of the three main parts, but nevertheless works well and the off switch is a nice feature; its main appeal is that it can be used on the desktop and as a portable laptop mouse. The wireless USB reciever, while small (a good thing), still has a very sufficient range.

All in all, this set has solved a number of problems for me and I strongly recommend it. Just be sure to check ALL the keys, etc. immediately when you get it and exchange it for another unit if any of the keys do not respond.

Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 710 Laser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I admit, I'm brutal on keyboards.I work long hours from home and type quite fast so a keyboard tends to wear out after a relatively short period of time due to the constant absue I inflict on it.Everyone always gets a kick out of my keyboards with the keys worn smooth and few if any letters left on them.So far this one has handled my abuse quite well.I am impressed.

Combined with the fact that I am female and don't have large hands, keyboard/mouse selection is more limited for me.What I mainly look for in a keyboard is size (not too small, not too large) and it must not have a huge mouse.Keyboards nowadays are getting larger and larger complete with software that bogs down and tries to run your computer.Plus, I can't stand a huge keyboard taking up my desk space.Also, in case you noticed, mice are getting funkier looking as ever lately.There is only so much that can be done for ergonomics...so now they are trying to go stylish too.

When I picked up this keyboard off the shelf to test (it was about the 30th model I tried) I was instantly in love with it.My hands fit perfectly on the keyboard with my palms resting just on the front edge.With an overall depth of 7.5 inches it didn't hog up my desk either.Slim-line design without being compact.

Within a few days of purchase and use I started messing around with the options it has.Wow!I'm sold.I would have paid double for this keyboard.I like being able to adjust my audio by simply pressing one of 3 audio buttons on the top front (lower, mute, higher) and the email button right below that opens my Outlook for me.The magnifying glass brings up a side window with Google.But it doesn't end there - on the far right of the keyboard are 5 keys which have been streamlined into the design so you barely notice they are there - all for music.With one touch - my music player opens.The other buttons are for shuffling, next, back, and play/pause.Sweet!

On the other side of the keyboard are 5 other buttons similar to those - to do with picture editing.I haven't played around with those yet..but am looking forward to.Also there are special function buttons to use...then again I don't like installing companies software on my computer so I haven't experimented with those yet either.Maybe in due time.

This last one may seem a bit silly...but it's a darn good idea!The most common keyboard shortcuts are printed on the SIDE of the keys.So for instance, the keyboard shortcut for REDO is CTRL+Y.On the CTRL key is a little diamond and on the side of the Y key is a diamond with the word REDO.So at a glance if you forget a shortcut...it's there for you.Smart idea.

As I have a laptop as my main computer for now...I use this keyboard as an add-on.It's overall size and design allows me to put it in my laptop backpack bag with all my other gear and travel as I wish with ease for the ultimate work-on-the-go experience.I have not had ANY connection issues with this set unlike some other brands I've tried including my Microsoft Bluetooth set (major $$$ and a big disaster).

The mouse - simple, but quite functional too.It doesn't look like anything special.But it works quite well.Not too much...not too little.The scroll wheel works fine and the mouse precision is excellent (what you would expect from a laser).I have not had any surface issues with this one yet - and I do not use a mouse pad.

My only complaint I've had with this set is so minor it's barely mentionable.They moved my END key.As I am used to typing without looking at the keyboard when I reach for the END key it's not there. :)I'm sure within another month or so I'll be used to it...just irritated me for the first few days.

I give this set 5 stars hands-down.If I see it on sale I will for sure buy another one - with 4 computers in our house they will be replaced by this model one by one!

Logitech Cordless Desktop Comfort Laser (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this Logitech Cordless Desktop Comfort Laser to replace my Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 (which I'd come to loathe).With the hardware, I'm very satisfied.The keyboard is a nice ergonomic version which I'd grown used to from my long-ago Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro.It's got a nice typing feel (not too hard, not too soft) and I've had no problems with it (the keyboard in the Microsoft Desktop 6000 dropped keystrokes).The only negatives I can come up with for the keyboard are that the space bar makes a bit of a clanking sound (which I probably wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't read about it here) and the palm rest does show the location of your hands from the oil residue (trivial really).The mouse is very comfortable and I've had no problems with it at all.

Where I have had problems is with the Logitech Setpoint 3.3 software.I'm using Vista, so since it's so new, that might be the issue (though the Logitech forums indicate the XP version has similar problems).In my case, even though the software loaded without trouble, I sometimes couldn't open the Setpoint program.It would basically hang when I attempted it.I also was getting no mouse status from the Logitech icon (keyboard status, yes -- mouse status, no).The forums indicate there's also a problem with the Secure Connect hotkey of CTRL-SHIFT (it conflicts with quite a few important keystrokes in Vista and applications) and with multiple keystrokes generating spurious letters.Because Setpoint was hanging on my system, I just uninstalled it and am running on the native Vista drivers (again, without problem).Without Setpoint, I'm lacking some features.But, I rarely use those things, anyway.

So, overall, I give the hardware an Excellent rating of 5 stars out of 5.However, because of the problems with the Setpoint 3.3 software, I'm subtracting 1 star.Still, that leaves an overall Very Good rating of 4 stars out of 5.Recommended.
