I've heard about the errors that some were getting on their XBox, and now I have experienced one myself. The picture on the right doesn't really show it well, but the "Ring of Light’s” lower right quad is lit up red.
The error came about when I tried to open the tray to remove a movie.
I've been waiting for this Skype phone for a while, and I want to get one.
Unfortunately, the price is a bit to high for me! Amazon is taking pre-orders at $249.99. It should be out around June.
What makes this phone different than the other Skype phones out there is it doesn't require a pc to use. The Skype software is self-contained in the phone. Anywhere you can get a WIFI connection, you can use Skype.
A couple of down sides I see so far... It uses WEP and not WPA for encryption. That in itself isn't bad, since Skype uses encryption, but it is the fact that you have to open up your wireless network to use the product. Also, if you are a traveler like myself, I'm not sure how you would gain access to wireless networks that require a web login first. Many hotels offer free WIFI, but require you to navigate to a web page first to log in.
