WiFi Skype Phone

NETGEAR today announced pricing information and pre-order availability for the new NETGEAR Skype WiFi phone (model SPH101). This will be the first device said to be certified to make mobile Internet telephony a reality for Skype users worldwide. The phone can be pre-ordered now exclusively online at an MSRP of $249.99.
 
The SPH101 is the first Skype-Certified device to allow consumers to make unlimited free domestic and international calls to other Skype users over a wireless network without having to be tied to a PC. The WiFi phone will work anywhere in the world where a user has a secured or open access to a WiFi network.
 
The device comes pre-loaded with Skype software and ready out-of-the-box to use with a wireless network. The device's intuitive on-screen color menu shows saved Skype contacts and their online availability for easy communications, similar to the PC experience.

Too bad that the phone does not allow you to connect to any SIP proxy; I would be buying a dozen.
