7. GE 28310EE1 (Skype)
Editors' rating: 7.5
The good: Internet and landline calls on one cordless handset; no connection to your PC required for Internet calls; relatively simple setup; phonebook stores up to 200 Skype contacts; built-in speaker phone on handset; additional handsets are available (you can have a total of four connected to the system); you can jump between landline and incoming Skype calls and even conference those parties into a three-way call with you.
The bad: Look and feel of the system seems a tad cheap.
The bottom line: GE's dual-mode Skype phone/cordless handset may not be the sexiest model out there, but its ability to toggle between Skype and landline calls--and even do three-way conferencing between lines--sets it apart from the current crop of dual-mode Skype phones.
