Has anyone used this as a desk top speaker phone? Any feedback on the quality on either end of the call would be very much appreciated.

Yes, I use the tough Foogoo all the time for one. I think it works really good. I travel with it all the time and for home office calls.

I just called a friend's cell phone from my living room, which is 16'x20'. Her voice came out clearly on Fugoo. I sat about 6 feet away and was told I sounded fine and was heard clearly. Very cool. I'll experiment with distance later.

I do not think that it can be used as a speaker phone. It does have a "flash" button. It also has a "volume control" - which is helpful, and a port for pluging in a head-set (which I have never used), plus "redial" , but can only store 10 numbers in its memory -plus "speed-dial" buttons for police, fire, and ambulance.

the handset has aa button that increases sound..not sure if that is what you mean by speaker phone. it is probably not strong enough for a conference phone.

Absolutely not! It is a good little speaker to amp up the volume at your desk, but it won't take the place of a more expensive speaker by any means. It actually doesn't have enough volume to fill a room. I like it and would recommend for use under limited circumstances, but I bought it only to use with my phone. I would say that it increases the volume by about 25% at the maximum. You have to be near a power source, because the connecting cord is very, very short. I like it and it was worth the money, but the text advertising it greatly exaggerates its power, volume, and tone quality. For the back yard, this speaker would be useless. Absolutely not!

I would not suggest using it as a speaker for your PC. The line out from the clock is fixed and short which means you would need an adapter to reach. You would also lose stereo sound which is not what you want if you listen to music on your PC. It would be a lot easier to add a clck app to your desk top in addition to the clock on your task bar.

Yep, it has a mic and is great as a speakerphone . I've had no complaints on how I sound to others.

It works perfectly for me. I am using for a while for all my office conference calls.

The headset works well, I went through a 2 hours talk without trouble.As for the handset, seems like you can't dock and use it on speaker mode at the same time. I tried once, but was in a rush, so didn't really explore to see if I did it wrongly.Normal rechargeable AA batteries is used.

I use the speakerphone all the time and think the quality is great. I've been very happy with this phone.

It makes a tolerable speakerphone. I haven't used it extensively as a speakerphone, but haven't experienced any problems with it when using the speakerphone function.

It would not be useable as a speakerphone; there is no microphone in it. Someone may have figured out a hack to make it work but it's not designed to do it

We use this for skype conference call and it works great. You have to select it as your speaker and mic from your application to make sure it work as it should be just like the other user described.

Our experiences with this phone are not good. We are elderly and our hearing is not what used to be. It is difficult to hear. Putting it on speaker phone improves the clarity, somewhat. We do not recommend this phone, even with someone who has perfect hearing.
