Advantages: Cheap, 2mp camera Onboard Skype voice & message

Disadvantages: Cheap, tacky looking

Yes! The fist edition Skype phone to Three UK's range.
It was highly promoted via ebay (owners of the Sykpe service) and Three to be one of the most useful phones of 2008 boasting Skpye onboard with direct access, instant messaging, realtime internet calls via your mobile all for free.

This phone now looks almost tacky compared to the new updated models of the Skype phone, which now boast onboard wifi, access to facebook, and other messaging platforms such as Windows Live.

This phone can be purchased for around £30 from Three and even cheaper on Ebay.

The interface is very 'Three esc', giving you little choice to customise yout mobile, making you have their basic launcher button which highlights all the useful sites such as facebook, ebay, three mobile. It this was a truly mobile multimedia playform i think it would be good if three let you customise the launcher feature yourself. almost like a bookmarked section made easy for phones.

It has a 2mp camera, bluetooth and comes new with a 256mb memory card.

This phone is Skype orientated. If Skype is not for you, then i would consider choosing a different phone that Three have to offer.

Summary: not bad for the money you can get these for today,
