3 Skypephone

By Frank Lewis (cnet.co.uk)

The 3 Skypephone's reason for being is its Skype capabilities. You can make free Skype-to-Skype calls and the handset is 3G and very easy to use. Call quality and reception were both first-rate, battery life is good and the phone's exterior looks slim ...

3 Skypephone

Usual story it seems. Screen broken really easily when in pocket, and flaking back panel. Wont be buying another

Cheap price, almost a though away phone with good features. Usb charging.

Screen broken really easily. No Vista support or drivers. Crappy battery. Flimsy design. Software design rubbish.
