At MobileShop.com Technical Markus admits that his review of the 3 Skypephone is somewhat belated. However, he has had a chance to “muck about” with it and feels that it is plenty worthy of a post.

Knowing only that the device is Skype-capable straight out of the box, Markus dived in and spent a night in the company of the first mobile handset to feature fully integrated VoIP. And what was the result? Presumptions about the 3 Skypephone being “gimmicky” were quickly dissipated as he began to realise that it isn’t just a mobile with Skype incorporated, “it’s a proper, full on Skype Phone, where it’s very reason for existence is the Skype messenger built into it.”

The attractive prospects of free calling to not just other 3 Skypephone users, but also Skype users sat at a PC, were more than enough to keep Markus’ interest peaked. If you have a response to the article you can leave Markus a comment here.
