Come Christmas, you will enjoy Skype services from your Skype-made mobile phones. Yes, I am talking about the latest handheld device, which eBay is developing in collaboration with Hutchison Whampoa acquired mobile operator 3.
Most presumably, the Skype phone will possess the basic Skype features. It would enable customers enjoy free or inexpensive international VoIP calls without leaning before the computers.
According to Cellular News, 3 has joined hands with an Asian handset maker for the Skype phone, which is likely to debut in UK before Christmas, then in other countries like Australia and Italy.
The UK-based mobile operator has been providing Skype services on its X-Series platform since last year. The launch of exclusive Skype phones by 3 will certainly bring most sophisticated VoIP services on mobile networks.
The mobile giant has expressed,
The move marks a radical step forward in operator thinking and will mobilize internet calls for a mass market. It will also close the gap between internet communications and mobile calling and is something you won’t see from any other operator.
However, both the companies have not revealed further details of the device.
