However, there is one drawback with Skype, you have to sit in front of your computer and use a headset to talk to people, hardly the most intuitive way of making a call. However, there are options available, ranging from cheap USB connected handsets which still keep you in close vicinity to your computer, to what we’ll be looking a bit closer to today, Wi-Fi enabled Skype handsets. You might wonder why you’d want a Wi-Fi telephone, although in this case it’s a lot more than just a simple telephone as you’ll see, but consider these handsets as a cordless phone and you’ll see why they’re so clever.

The downside is that Wi-Fi technology is a lot more expensive than cordless telephone technology, or is it? Let’s now take a closer look at a couple of Wi-Fi Skype phones from ASUS and Netgear and see where we stand.
