The Phone itself
We've tested the black version which came with a mini USB cable, a pair of earphones, a CDROM, a manual and a USB plug.
The CDROM contains a PC Sync application which allows you to synchronise data saved on your phone together with that saved on your PC; there's also a nice application that let you use the phone as a mobile modem, allowing you to connect your PC/laptop to the net.
Our Skypephone came with an old firmware, version 18; you can check which firmware version you use by pressing *789#.
A newer version has been released since then which can be applied via the supplied USB cable.
This candy bar phone on a PAYG package costs only £40 while a twin pack costs £70 and comes either in white (with either blue or pink trim) or anthracite.
It feels fairly sturdy and much slimmer than your average mobile phone, certainly Three's smallest 3G handset currently on the market, at only 100 x 44 x 13.6mm and weighing 86g.
