Usb Phone

[groo]

Well. Use Skype a lot nowdays. Yes the option is a headset. But I rather have a USB phone. Before I go on my excursion on finding it, does anyone happen to know a shop that sells it in Chiang Mai???

Please don't move this topic to interet, tech etc etc. I think Chiang Mai people know chiang mai best!

If you want a USB or SIP phone then you will need to order it from abroad... I have searched high and low and no luck.

However there are some good options available. If your using a Apple then the Imic by Griffin is a USB device which allows you to plug in a regular style headset. The device has an input and output jack and does all the things a USB phone does in terms of sound quality and removing electrical noise.

I was using such a setup and happy with the quality.. My employer sent me a SIP USB phone from the states and its identical quality..

If you need a SIP phone to log directly into a PBX then the above setup does not work for most options. If however you just use Skype or Xten etc then its works great.

Not sure if there is a PC equivalent. They Imic might work on a PC come to think of it.. But not sure.

I FOUND IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes .. here in chiang mai. After walking all 4 floors there in Pantip, Chiang Mai, I'd lost hope but the last shop I went to. I got it. Ok for those of you who want this USB phone. THe shop is named PANTIP NETWORK Co. Ltd. Its on the second floor if I am not mistaken. Lot Number 152/1. But I told the lady there that many people are looking for this thing. (no i wont be making anything there) Its a small shop specialising in networking. Brand is Artech B1. Comes in Maroon, White and Black. THere was only one maroon and I got it. Price THB1,300. Got it for 1,250. Tried and tested and works perfectly. So so happy with it man .. Thanks to skype and B1. all th best.

She just got this new stock today and I reckon its going to be sold off soon.

Its worth the money IMO.

http://www.b1club.com/price/ for anyone who wanna see what it looks like. Its the B1.

I also need to add that at the moment, the drivers for this phone only supports Skype. According to their website, they are developing drivers that would work with other messangers such as Yahoo and MSN and would anounce that shortly. I am satisfied with Skype, so this set up works fine.
