3’s SkypePhone: £49 to buy, top up the phone (minimum £10) and you get a month’s free Skype-to-Skype calls and messages. The phone appears to have a surprisingly decent talk time too, and according to the specs sheet has Bluetooth A2DP for wireless stereo headsets (sadly, however, it’s only dual-band on GSM). Shame the 3 network has a bit of a reputation, otherwise I’d actually consider porting over from O2. Still, an interesting concept and one hopefully that other mobile operators will learn from.
Sense in the mobile industry?
