Correct .. You do not need a computer but merely a DSL / cable internet connection ... However, internet speed needs to be decent ... I.e. 3kb down and 1 up .... Otherwise your conversation will not be clear... Winderful phone

This model will work with Skype. It requires that you connect via wifi, as its a tablet, not a phone. This model does NOT have the ability to be linked to a cellular service.

Not exactly sure what you mean, but I can use the laptop without accessories and use skype(vid call/normal call). Camera is very poor though.

Unfortunately Skype has to be download it as an app, this phone is not capable of downloading apps since it is not a smartphone.

Skype simply needs a connection to the internet; it doesn't care how you get it. If you already have WiFi available you are set. If you want to skype from somewhere that doesn't have WiFi that you can use, then you will need a phone service. I use WiFi for my iPad.

Yes, However, there is no skype on Windows 7 phone, You will have to use Tango or a different app

Well, I must confess; I didn't understand your question entirely, but you are right to think that this is some kind of cordless phone. However the greatest advantage is that it requires no PC; you can make/recieve Skype calls without a computer -so you would have all Skype-goodies but wouldn't have to have your PC on in order to use it. I for one am looking forward for this phone because I am an international student, and Skype is probably one of the best VOIP provider out there (no activation fee, monthly payments, rates are pretty good for my case) With SkypeIn and all that stuff I can be in home, or in school, but still have the same number and everything and all I would have to carry would be a small device.. You see, some other VOIP provider, like Vonage, provides you with a box that you attach to your internet connection (using a router, so you connect your modem to this router, and then can connect multiple computers/devices to internet) and then plug in your everyday phone to this box. I have many friends who use their Vonage boxes in both countries. However, Skype is a little bit more 'private' than Vonage or other VOIP systems, so such boxes won't work on Skype. This 'thing' takes it up a notch; it is both some kind of 'box', and the phone, for Skype system. However you need a wireless router, and create a wireless network in your home to hook up the 'thing' to internet. Now, this would work in your house, your buddys house, but not in a public wireless network like a hotel network or a coffee shop network.. So it doesn't have a 'cell phone' use.. About the security; almost all routers come with detailed manuals, so you can easily add WPA security to your network (SPH101 supports this security), then it shouldn't be much of a problem.. If you have any more, specific questions, don't hesitate..

OK..... You need to buy a phone without wifi. Also you need a plan that offers talk and text only.

No, you may not use this as a phone, but you can install an application that will allow you to talk over wifi. (But you probably will need to buy minutes)

You may search for skype pc-free phones for such devices. Google shopping gives many results. One good site with various products is - http://www.amperordirect.com/c/c-pcless/index.html

You need the landline connected for 911 calls only. For all other calls you can use Skype without a regular landline connection.

This is my answer to you Eathen...IF you want to use it like a "normal" cell phone, then all of the answers provided before will be YES. I actually use a smart phone with my SKYPE and call free in Wi-fi areas. But, that's just me...I have wifi at work and at home, so it works for me...

with a good 3g connection you can use skype just fine, of course it works better with a good wireless connection.

No .you can use it with or without a data plan. That is why i got it simple talking and texting.

It has this option, but I have not tried it myself. On my previous phones, the "skype feature" works, it is just very small. I would use a computer vs. a phone.

No but you don't really need that... You will have your device in your hand remember its wireless.
