The UTStarcom F Wi-Fi telephone battery has approximately five hours of talk time and between hours of standby time. This telephone supports a standard headphone jack that has a round 2.
Vonage recommends that you only use this power supply when using your phone adapter. Model - SA Output - 5. To make that initial connection you just set the phone to Auto Scan why it's not in that mode by default isn't clear , and the F automatically connects to the nearest open access point.
If the access point is encrypted you have to enter your WEP Key, which, is tons of fun to do with a phone keypad, trust us.
If you're at a hotel or Starbucks or someplace that requires you to enter a password or otherwise log-in via a webpage, you're out of luck; the F just won't work. Unfortunately, we decided to just give this whole process a shot right out of the box without reading the instructions first instructions what? After more than a couple failed attempts to connect we were able to get it going, but what caused us all this grief is a classic case of poor interface design. It's not unreasonable to have to flip through a few menus to connect to an access point, but when you fire up the F you are presented with two options: "Menu" and "Search", and it's that "Search" option that's so confusing.
When we first fired up the phone we instantly selected the "Search" option. The phone scanned and found our wireless access point, along with several others, but actually trying to connect this way was problematic.
We scrolled down the list of detected access points until we found the one we wanted, clicked "Save", entered our WEP key, clicked "OK", and then So we clicked the one we wanted again. Fortunately this time the WEP Key was already in there, but then hitting "Save" brought us back to that list of access points again. The smart thing would be to have you simply connect, right? Yeah, we thought that, too. Instead, we exit out of the AP selection menu, and are confronted with the main screen, which says that the F is trying to connect Finally we switched off the phone and switched it on again, and this time we were able to connect to the correct AP with no trouble.
Beta blues, no doubt. Frustratingly, we encountered this same problem again when we wanted to switch the phone from one access point it had connected to our neighbor's open AP to another. We went through the exact same process, but this time we followed the instructions and already had the phone set to Auto-Scan.
We were able to finally get things rolling again, but there's no way the average person is going to want to deal with jumping through these kinds of hoops.
Once you're connected, it's pretty much like using a regular cellphone, which means that voice quality is acceptable but not amazing. On occasion the sound quality was absolutely horrible, and was so bad that we could barely understand anything that the person we were speaking to was saying though oddly enough every time this happened the person we were chatting with would say that everything sounded fine on their end. We thought perhaps it was a bandwidth problem on our sude, so we did some side-by-side comparison tests using a regular Vonage line.
The calls on the regular Vonage line sounded considerably better, and even people who didn't complain about the quality when using the F could tell the difference between the two. This was where we were pleasantly surprised. Vonage had hinted back in January that the F would only have about three hours of talk time, but in our tests we were able to get almost six hours of talk time before the battery completely died on us.
Part of that may have had to do with the phone's proximity to our wireless access point during the bulk of those hours, but regardless, the F kept on going far longer than we expected. So what's the verdict? Obviously we're not in love with the F, but for a first-generation product which, even though there are other WiFi phones, this essentially is we're actually not displeased.
