Skypephone S2 - Landing August 18th

July 23rd, 2008

This news has percolated fairly well by now, in the lively sense of the word obviously, no slow brewing here. So what do we know? It’s out on the 18th of August around the price point of £69.99, and is the blockbusting continuation of the franchise started by the original 3 Skypephone device. It looks like this:

And is comprised of plenty of upgrades from the the previous model.

- Size: 103 x 45 x 14mm

- Display: 2.2in QVGA screen

- Battery: 1150 mAh

- Memory on board: 50mb

- Memory card type: Micro SD up to 4GB

- HSDPA: 3.6

- Camera: 3.2MP

It has also got built in drivers, so hooking it up to your laptop and dongle-izing it is a breeze and, intriguingly, you’ll be able to get your email on it, with 3’s new facility to have consumer mail pushed to your handset, whatever its spec. And naturally there is the integrated functionality of Skype.

So what does everyone think? As I said, there is plenty of ‘buzz’ and what follows are links to some of it. Phones Review, Pocket-Lint, The 3G blog, Xeo-Tech (nice comparison to Ford’s Model-T), Sipy who quotes Tamebay’s Chris Dawson, Stuff.tv, Skype Journal also goes with a Dawson quote and finally we’ll finish with Fudzilla. So, with those out of the way, what are your thoughts on the prospect of the Skypephone S2? Let us know.

  3. This is great news - have loved using the original.

    Hope the S2 will be availble as a free upgrade in August.

    Does anyone know how the back cover will be secured to the phone? The magnet on the Skypephone has played havoc with my travelcard, rendering it useless through ticket barriers when absentmindedly held together.

  5. It’ll be fine if the phone is at least tri-band.
