Maybe I am out of the loop, but this is the first I have heard of OOMA - linked from an MSBC feature on great gadgets. [Here are the specifics.](http://www.ooma.com/buy/)

Basically, it works on your normal broadband hookup, you get two lines, plus for a few extra pennies (about 2 cents per minute) I can call Germany!

For about $400 for a one-time purchase, and then unlimited free phone calls in the USA, it sounds like a deal to me!

Anybody have it, or know somebody with it?
