This product was the best investment, I've made yet! I enjoy talking to people from my yard and 1/2 way down the street to my friends, it's almost like having a cell phone. The only thing that annoys me a bit is the LCD screen remains lit showing the battery charge status when the phone is turned off and on the charger, waste of electricity in my book. Other than that the sound quality is excellent. I can't wait until Linksys comes out with the new draft-n skype phones.
