The potential of the 3 Skypephone is not lost on Mad About Gadgets, as they begin their review with the statistics that Skype has 246 Million users worldwide with 2.5m of those internet telephony savvy individuals residing in the UK.

Theming the review on the title of the the ever-so-popular Clint Eastwood western (see here), Mad about Gadgets adds a fourth category beneath the good the bad and the ugly - the beautiful. Although the other categories give plenty of scope for discussing the 3 Skypephone, it was necessary to add the further sub-heading to allow ample opportunity for praise in the form of a David Dickinson catch phrase, “The price of the 3 Skypephone is surprising and almost unbeatable.
