PRODUCT COMPOSITION & WALKTHROUGH
The phone is packaged neatly in a compact box with the usual Logitech styling. On the back are a few pictures of the phone with features listed, and on the side are the system requirements and specs. This phone is designed to be used only with Skype and the logo is prominently displayed on the packaging.
With everything unboxed we have the phone, USB receiver, charging station, rechargeable AAA batteries, software CD and manual, AC adapter, and handset clip. MSRP on this phone is $99.99 USD, but can be found online for a bit cheaper.
The shape is quite similar to a “candy bar” style cell phone and about the same size. An audio jack is located on the side of the phone to plug in a headset if desired. The key layout is simple with the 12 normal keys and three extras – Skype, speakerphone, and call log buttons. Above the numeric keypad is the green call button and red hang up button, and between those is the navigation button. At the very top are two context-sensitive soft keys. The keypad is backlit in orange when in use.
