Extremely impressed with this phone.
If you ignore the size and look of this phone it is perfect. Plug it in and DHCP sorts out the networking the with a few quick changes to the SIP configuration via a web interface and you can make and receive phone calls over the internet.
The built-in ring tones are very chessy, but there are ways of changing these.
I connected this directly to both a Linksys and Netgear Wireless ADSL router and the phone worked in both situations.
If you want a very cheap and easy method of adding an additional line for use in a home/office, this is probably the ideal solution along with a SIP VoIP account with VoIPtalk.
