Philips VoIP8411B/37 vs. Netgear SPH200D

Until recently, most dual-mode VoIP phones worked in tandem with your computer. They came equipped with separate handsets and base stations. But you still needed to run Skype (or another messaging application) on your PC to make Internet-based VoIP calls.

The new dual-mode phones have Skype software built right into the handset. The Netgear SPH200D and the Philips VoIP8411B/37 may look different at first glance, but once we started testing, we learned that they're both cut from the same cloth. They use similar keypad arrangements, displays, and Skype software--right down to the UI sound effects.

Both of these models also bear a striking resemblance to the Linksys iPhone CIT400 Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit for Skype, a similar dual-mode phone that beat these two to market. But despite their seemingly identical specs, we found some important differences between the Philips and Netgear phones.

Skype features Viral Videos

Voip-application Skype is going to become more social releasing Skype 3.5 for Windows, which adds videos from popular social-networking sites to the Skype experience.

Previous versions let users talk via video. Now, Skype users can download videos from Metacafe and DailyMotion and add them to a user's "mood". Video can now be integrated into text chats as well.

ADVERTISEMENT The concept of "mood" has been a staple of blogs for several years now, with users being able to identify their "mood" (sad, irritated, happy) as well as identify the song they're listening to and other characteristics. Recent iterations of this meme, including Twitter, allow users to communicate or self-publish updates of this type across the Web.

The videos were described as a way to communicate the user's mood. "Video mood messages provide members of the vibrant Skype community a great way to express themselves by tapping into the original and entertaining videos available on Metacafe, including those in our Producer Rewards program that pays video creators for their best work," said Erick Hachenburg, chief executive of Metacafe, in a statement "...Videos placed into Skype mood messages make this process even easier."

Likewise, the new software allows users to capture a still image from a Skype video chat.


The update also includes several more practical features, including an automatic redial feature that will redial every two minutes if the line is busy. Users now also have the option of transferring inbound calls to a user or group of users, or to a landline or mobile phone.
