Overall I like it, set-up was quick and easy and the phone clarity is better than my cell.

I plugged it into my docking station hoping it would work when the notebook wasn't in it, nope - gotta be docked for it to work. Didn't realize it needed the softphone option. Oh well, I will set it up on my desktop.

One thing I do find annoying with it is whenever I make a call, the softphone jumps up and in front of whatever I am doing. It is annoying to be surfing por... newspapers and have this get in the way. What is a girl to do? Any ideas?
Go over to The Unofficial Magicjack Forum and do a search. You'll find a number of solutions (involving user-written software) that will block the pop-up.
