I bought this as I wanted something small and compact, a small notebook I can take with me, wherever I go. I have changed a few things both hardware addons and software so far I am very happy with my babeee EEE!

Voice over IP (VoIP) saves me a shitload, I am not what you would call a big user of the telephone, though I do know a few people interstate that I call on a semi-regular basis often talking for an hour or more.

I have been a VoIP user for quite a while now, I was extremely happy with my LinkSys PAP2T, a rock solid ATA if ever there was one. With the PAP2T I had two Panasonic DECT phones that were plugged into it and another Panasonic DECT phone for my Helstra landline. I had friggin wires all over the place, but it was a small price to pay for cheap VoIP calls. I decided to upgrade this system enter the Siemens Gigaset C470 IP.
