Frank Warwick has been playing with the 3 Skypephone for almost a week and began, like a “good padawan”, with the basics… He read the manual.

After doing so, he went on his merry 3 Skypephone way and posted on Icon Today, declaring that when it comes to the handset, he “loves the size, or should I say ‘lack of size’. It’s great, slim, small, hide it in your hand, fits in your pocket, it’s not chunky and does not weigh you down.” This positive is followed up by comment on the length of headphone wire, which for Frank is a little short. This led to some experimentation in the 3mobilebuzz office, where we found that the wire is comfortable from front pocket to ear on a 6′ 1″ person, although it was suggested the guinea pig had a particularly short torso, thus creating a headphone friendly physique.

Feeling that the voice quality of Skype calls is very similar to those conducted over a PC, I’ll quote Frank’s final thoughts succinctly, “overall I like the phone and I like the price.”
