Hi Damon
I have a link for you to try for a ?Philips VOIP321 ? Duo? which is
available from Skype itself but other I doubt will do this too but I don?t
know how accessible it is but quite like the idea. This is a dual landline
as well as Skype phone. Its price tag is at £89.95.

I hope this link helps in looking at different options available as I didn?t
know whether you knew about this one.

Hey Damon.
I do have and use a skype phone. It's very good. Not only that it's a skype
phone, but it's also a lnormal line phone, so you can use both skype and
landline with it. It does install it's own software,. which is not very hard
to install. I know that there are several of those phones on the market, but
this is the only one, as far as i know, that uses both skype and normal
telephone line. I sure don't have any access issues with it. Sure I can't
use some of it's features like sellecting names from contact list, but most
things you can do through PC via skype. To find out more about the phone you
can go to http://dualphone.net/default.aspx?ID=31
I had no problems with the phone, the only problem I had is when the phone
was first plugged in, because it's a USB dvice windows regarded phone as a
soundcard, so no sound was coming through the PC. Apart from that I
definitely like this phone and would recommend it.

OK so I know I'm behind the trend wave here but I installed Skype recently
and am thinking about getting a phone instead of having to use speakers and
microphone.
What I want to know is .... are all VOIP phones plug and play? That is to
say, do you need to install loads of drivers on your PC?
Any tips on VOIP phones to buy if you're visually impaired? I know nothing.
Are there any access issues or phones / features to avoid or indeed phones /
features I should look for?
Thanks v much.
