Customer Reviews

No 64 bit drivers
Not much use if you use a 64 bit O/S and linksys have no plans to issue a driver.

Cordless but nothing more
Got 2 units but should have spent more time in reviewing product comments. This CIT200 requires the last update of FW from LinkSys website otherwise you'll have trouble with the rest of the audio on your PC. Sound quality is fine but your friend at the other end will hear from time to time weird repetitions of a few words -that may last a few seconds unfortunately. I never got that with my previous basic USB Skype phone. Overall: not impressed.

Don't get caught out!
This internet phone works fine on Windows XP but notice that nobody tells you that it doesn't work with Windows Vista. I've had mine for four months and now Linksys expect me to throw it away and buy a newer model as they do not intend to support it in Vista. I don't think so Linksys.
