    IPEVO Free-1 USB Phone Review

    Posted on Monday, February 06 2006 @ 13:59:57 CET by LSDsmurf


    Today EveryThing USB reviewed a very affordable USB phone called Free-1 from IPEVO. Despite of its name, the IPEVO's Skype-certified handset isn't free. Unique to this $30 VoIP gadget is the Mac support, recently announced by the company to lure Apple users. Also the Free-1 power consumption (100mA at max. usage) is so little that a keyboard's USB port can power it. For the rest, you have to discover it yourself.

    "At 6" x 1.5" x 1.5", the Free-1 is narrower than a cell phone and as tall as the majority of opened flip-phones, giving a tall and slender profile that has a very modern look to it. The front of the phone is rather simplistic, lacking an LCD or any flashy lights other than a small status LED under the earpiece. The color coded buttons and jog switch are well placed with adequate spacing, and the different groups have unique feels for dialing in the dark. Pressing one results in a tactile click, and optionally a small tone for additional feedback. Volume and mute buttons are placed on the side of the phone."
