If you suffer from poor quality calls on Skype then a video has been made to give you instructions on how to improve the quality. Some technical know how is needed, although there are plenty of tutorials on the internet to help you get more clear calls. A few things they cover are setting up your router to give you a fixed IP address, opening a skype port to that IP and then setting that port to have a priority. Making these changes can greatly change the call quality as it gives priority over the other traffic such as downloads that are being done at the dame time.

Let us know if you have any success with this, and also feel free to drop an email to us if you need any advice as I can help also with your quest for better call quality.

No doubt there will be another N95 beater on the market, but not for a few months.
