Three launching a new Skype phone today
October 29th, 2007
From Techcrunch UK:
The finer details of the long-awaited Skype phone announcement from mobile operator Three break this morning, but quite a lot is known already about the deal which the network hopes will revive its flagging fortunes.
A mobile phone from Three will be available in UK, Australia, Austria, Denmark, Hong Kong, Italy, Ireland, Macau and Sweden, allowing you to make and receive phone calls using Skype, by pressing a ‘Skype’ button on the handset.

As much as I can’t stand Three, I will be keeping my eye out for this one, although it is a shame that you are only allowed to make Skype calls to other Skype numbers by the looks of it.
