Summary: Skype Phone Does work with VISTA
Comment: Having purchased this twin pack from Amazon without reading the reviews and as I experienced over 3 hours of lost time trying to get it to work. I use Vista Ultimate. All the problems previously reported in other Amazon reviews happened to me (the phone was connected to the computer but not recognised by Skype) - in the end I solved the problem by completely removing skype from my computer, connecting the phones hub directly into a usb port on my tower and installing the download from Philips' website (file called; voip3211s_01_cdi_eng), make sure the compatibility mode (XP version) & `run this program as an administrator' is used for the USB phone driver (right click on icon & select compatibility tab). The downloaded software also installs a version of skype that works - do not be tempted to install the very latest skype program as this caused the same connecting problems. The phone works great - took a bit of head scratching to conclude that you have to use the big `S' button to make your skype calls and if the number is one that is not already in your skype contacts then you have to dial it by dropping the `0' and replacing it with `+44', the `+' digit is inputted by holding down the `0' for a couple of seconds. Very good range on phone, good sound & build quality. Aprently it works fine with Windows XP. Also read the reviews for the single handset option.

Summary: Not quite right
Comment: I purchased these because of the the manufacturers statement "it works independently of your PC" This is not true and need the PC on all the time and the base station connected to it.

Summary: Great Phone ...but VISTA users BEWARE!!
Comment: We've been using Olympia Dual Skype phones for 3 years or more. The problem with them is that after about 6 months of use the display starts to disappear. At the time we first got the Olympia it was the only Cordless Skype phone available. Now there is a wider choice. We thought Philips would be pretty reliable and opted for the 3212 Duo phone set - at just a few pounds more than the 3211 single phone. The package arrived with a small clear instruction booklet - which we followed exactly ... and that was a mistake as the supplied software is designed for Windows XP and does not work with Windows Vista. If you want to use these phones on Vista you will need to download the Vista compatible software from the Philips site 1st - DO NOT use the supplied disk. If in doubt search the Skype forums for VOIP321 - where you may find solutions to the Vista problems. OK so we wasted many hours trying numerous different ways to get the software installed before we finally succeeded - but once we didthe phones themselves are great. Unlike the Olympia - with the Voip321 - you can put your phones anywhere you like in your house - it is only the little base-transmitter-box than needs to plug in to the PC. The sound quality is pretty good. The menus and options on the phones are easy to use - they appear to work happily with both Skype and normal calls, so hopefully we will now have several years of trouble free use.
