Tiger Netcom's 200B USB Phone is the second generation of telephone handsets for computers specifically designed for users of internet telephony.
Its main advantage is the automatic muting of the PC speakers when it's lifted from its holder or from the desk. There is no need to lower the volume or disconnect the PC speakers during its use. This also permits users to receive incoming 'phone-to-PC' calls while online.
Also included is a thumb-wheel volume control for the ear piece, so there is no need to adjust volume in the program setup during a conversation.
An on-screen LCD display supports call information using the Skype service.
