The 3 Skypephone Black Overview
The Skypephone is a
3G mobile phone that allows you to make free calls to other Skype users. There are already many
3G phones available that do this already, including the Nokia 6120 classic, Nokia N95, LG U970 and all Windows Mobile devices. Unfortunately the Skypephone lacks Wi-fi so it can't be used over a broadband connection, nor can it be used in conjunction with the low cost SkypeOut service. It can make video calls but rather strangely the only camera is on the back of the phone, which means the only way of making a face to face video call with another Skype user is to do it while looking in a mirror! However, if you want a budget Skype mobile for making free calls to other Skype users then the Skypephone could be the thing for you. It has standard functionality of a mid-range mobile phone, 2 megapixel camera, basic MP
3 player, expandable memory, Java games and comes in three colours; black, white/blue and white/pink.
