7. Philips VOIP8411B
Editors' rating: 7.5
The good: The VOIP8411B Skype phone allows Internet and landline calls on one cordless handset; there's no connection to your PC required for Internet calls; it's relatively simple to set up, has a slick design and its phone book stores up to 500 Skype contacts; you can add three handsets (four total) to the system; there is a built-in speakerphone on the handset.
The bad: The VOIP8411B is somewhat pricey and can't answer a landline call while putting a Skype call on hold.
The bottom line: The Philips VOIP8411B is a slick-looking cordless phone that can make calls on your landline or via Skype--without the need to be connected to a computer.
