Inconsistency

I previously blogged about my happy purchase of the IPEVO Skype phone.  It won an industrial design award and seemed to have solved the problem of echo during a call.  However, after about three months of usage, it completely died.

If you are planning to purchase this phone, my advise to you is to forget about it.  This phone is an absolute waste of money.  It was working well for a couple days.  After about 2 weeks, it had stopped to function properly.  

People said they have trouble hearing me or my voice is weirdly distorted.  The driver crashes daily:

It doesn’t matter whether you are using the phone or not, it just crashes several times a day.  The input volume goes up and down while you are on a call.  I even have to keep increasing the input volume while talking just so the person on the other side can hear me.

About a couple days ago, I received this message and the phone had completely shut off on me:
 

I tried restarting my computer but it didn’t work.  I tried reinstalling this damn thing but it didn’t work.  Completely dead.

Don’t waste your money.
