If you get his phone and it works go stright out and buy a lotto ticket because your lucky. I had high hopes for this phone.The first one I got was DOA. It had the "gets hot" problem that many talk about. So hot that you could not hold it. The battery was still dead after a day of charging. Sent phone one back. Phone two was better. Did the SW update and made a few calls over the next week. The battery life was still bad. I never got more than 10 hrs out of a full charge. It really didn't matter if it was in standby or I made a few calls. In 10hrs it was dead.It had difficulty logging onto many open wifi systems. I was unable to identify the problem. Sometimes it would log onto a system and sometimes it would not log onto the same system. That was with a good 3 bar signal strength.The second phone would die every time I got a skype-in call. As soon as the call came in, the phone would drop the wifi connection. It would then take up to two min to reconnect to the wifi. I could make out going calls but an incomming call would kill it. If I did a hard reset on the phone it would receive one call but then go back to dropping the wifi connection if a second call came in.All in all, Linksys has major problems with this phone, most do not work. Maybe if I had tried a third one I could have gotten a good one. I ended up with a Philips VOIP8411B. Fantastic right out of the box. It is not wifi but does not need for the computer to be on to work.If you are willing to keep replacing this phone until you get a good one, go for it, when it works it's nice.Amazon gets ***** Linksys *Roger
