because they don't want Apple to sue them for having a phone that resembles the iphone]]>Mar 3rd 2010 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/

If they made one with a better\bigger screen (3.7" minimum, 4" is good, with 16:10 or 16:9 AR), that had WiFi N along with a front facing video camera to make skype video calls, I'd grab it in a second. Android as the platform only makes it an even better offer....However, this one's design, crappy screen, and lack of a front facing camera is somewhat - lame. Actually, uber lame, considering the price!]]>Mar 3rd 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/

Not all of us run fancy smartphones with nice data plans. I run on prepaid for about $4/mo and the wife about $20/mo...and use Magicjack for home phone calls.

I'd consider getting one of these for a reasonable price if it had skype built in. Could be a pretty sweet home phone replacement. Maybe.]]>Mar 3rd 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/
I do. It covers the nasty phonejack plate in my kitchen. It's not even plugged in, just for deco!

Seriously, my 75 year old father and his ilk still can't cut the cord. Personally, I see no reason whatsoever to have a landline, haven't for years.

After recieving a $45 bill a few years back, and noticed neither the wife or myself even used the homephone during the month, we ditched it. When we bought our current house, it never even entered my mind to get a landline. Just had to dig one out of a box to cover up that plate on the wall.

you lost me, motorola. you really lost me.

Skype app doesn't let you make VOIP calls, just messaging.
Fring will supposedly receive VOIP calls, but I installed it and found out that you can't make Skype calls outbound.

Kind of a bummer.]]>Mar 3rd 2010 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/
I have a smartphone too but the sound quality on all cell phones and VoIP (including Skype) sucks, PERIOD. There is an inherent delay in anything non-landline. Don't tell me "you don't notice it therefore it must not exist", measure for yourself and you will see it's 300ms on a cell-to-cell call. Try playing an online game against someone with a 300ms ping.

I would rather spend a little extra and have perfect call quality than try to save $45 a month.]]>Mar 3rd 2010 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 3rd 2010 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/Mar 4th 2010 2:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/motorola-hs1001-cordless-android-phone-hands-on/
