free-1 Skype USB phone (from IPEVO)

I just bought the free-1 Skype USB phone (from IPEVO). This is one of the coolest USB phones I have ever seen. While it cost a little more than the rest of the USB Skype-enabled phones in the market, it looks much better. Best of all, the voice quality is crystal clear and works seamlessly with Skype (it is a Skype Certified phone). An added advantage is that it works on Mac OS X.

Hey, if you are using Skype as well, call me at weimenglee. :-)
