I have been to EMAX Centrepoint but the phone is only xp and windows 2000 compatible. I am desperate to find one here in Qatar which is VISTA compatible so i can skype out and receive calls aswell.

Any suggestions welcomed

I think the ones xp compatible will work with the vista as it requires minimum XP not less if your computer is vista it should work ( try at the store to be sure or ask an IT)

Also, if you have a moble phone with WLAN like the nokia n95,n96, e types....etc you can download a program called fring by the mobile from www.fring.com

and you can use Skyp, MSN, google talk on it. I am doing so its very nice and easy to use in any place having WLAN.

goodluck

Thankyou for your answers. The reason I want the skype phone as I can't always be at my computer as I have a toddler to chase around the house. Also I want people to be able to ring me even when my computer is not on. A skype phone will allow this.

Can you please tell me where Sofitel is ?? Thankyou

You can buy individual skype phone belkin brand skype phone from carefour subject to the current availability or skype vista compatible phone from Al Jareer bookstore. still u dont find it, you may get from some shops from sofetile for sure. But why do u use specially these phones, almsot all good headset will give you cristal clear clarity after once you download the application in your system.

anyway Good luck.
