Where are you located..? In the UK Maplins sell a USB phone that works
with Skype.

The SIP handset mutes your speakers when in use, inexpensive and good voice
quality.

Here's a USB handset that bypasses your sound card for excellent digital
voice.

It's branded "Glophone", but I have it in use both with SJPhone and XTen for
several networks. Perhaps the best solution for net phone use.

I own both of these units. I now use the USB phone because of the handset
dialer and better voice quality. The USB handset does not use your pc
soundcard to function.

Or there's the Cyberphone K (note the K suffix) from
http://www.voipvoice.com - you need the *orange* colour-coded one for
Skype. Don't have prices to hand but mine was around £30 here in the UK.

I've been collecting links to all the "Skype phones" that I can find.
You can check them out at http://www.summitcircle.com/

I also wrote a an "article", kind of summarizing all the different
Skype phones that I've discovered

Good Luck,
