  • 3 Skypephone Mobile Phone Review: The future of Mobile VoIP


    19 May, 2008, by Desire Athow

    Conclusion

    The combination of great pricing and superb configuration won it a Global Mobile Awards at the Mobile World Congress in the "Best Mobile Handset or Device" category while resellers are reporting that the phone is literally flying off the shelf....  and it is easy to see why.

    The Skypephone is not the ideal phone but it is certainly the cheapest way to access Skype and MSN messenger on the move; and does it in style.

    Alternatively, one could go for Three's X-Series offers which provide with more upmarket phones or try the Sony Ericsson K660i which we will be testing fairly shortly.



    An upmarket version of the Skypephone would probably be a massive success with a bigger screen, a 3-megapixel camera with a decent flash and a few changes.

    There also are a few rumours that a smartphone version of the Skypephone with integrated 3G access could be closer than we think.

    It does not aspire to become an iPhone, after all, an 18-month contract on the Skypephone costs you less than the price of an 8GB iPhone.
