Tom's Networking "All things considered, Netgear's SPH101 is slightly better than the Accton / SMC / EdgeCore / Belkin products, but still plagued by bugs and oddities. The SPH101's biggest claim to fame is its speakerphone, but that advantage is offset by implementation issues that make it marginally usable....however, all of these products remain expensive curiosities and certainly not suited for road-warrior use. Battery time is much too short, the browser-based authentication needed by many commercial hotspots is missing and the hassle and extra weight just don't justify it as a viable business communication tool."

The SPH101 does not support any wireless network that requires internet browser-based sign on, meaning it wont work in commercial hotspots. Its other limitations are that it does not support Skypes instant-messaging function, cannot initiate conference calls and as it has no camera, obviously doesnt support video calls. You could probably accept these limitations if the cost of the phone were far lower. Call clarity between two Wi-Fi handsets was excellent, although when we then called the same location with the other person using a headset connected to a PC, the quality noticeably dropped. It has a claimed battery life of 30 hours on standby, although ours died from a full charge after only six."
