The Skype Phone is a cheap choice of handset, but don’t be naive and expect to make overseas calls for free. The WP-S1 Skype Phone from 3 (three.co.uk) is not what most people would initially expect a Skype phone to be. It is also not a Wi-Fi based VoIP phone that surfs the net for free and allows you to make extra-cheap calls to any friend’s number miles and miles away.

It’s a 3G handset that allows you to call and text other Skype users who are signed onto their Skype accounts using their computers or other Skype mobiles. This means that calling landlines or other non-Skype mobiles isn’t free.

It’s pretty cheap as mobile phones go, but the WP-S1 does have a few of the usual features including a built-in camera for taking stills and videos, a media player for playing MP3 music files and 3GP (mobile format) movie files, and a voice recorder for being really annoying in public while making personal voice notes. All of these features work well enough for the cost, but navigating the menus is fiddly and time-consuming.

The ringtones can be heard clearly and the volume setting on the side is easy to access. The speaker is quite audible and you can easily switch between speaker and ear-to-the-phone mode. The best thing about the handset is that it uses a USB connector to charge, and to connect to a PC or the peripherals provided: a USB cable, a power adapter, and an earbuds and microphone headset.

The free Planet 3 web page is readily available from the main screen. You can surf the net and even stream TV – if you can find a channel you want to watch from the very meager streams available, that is. But viewing video on such a small screen is less than ideal. Web surfing is very menu-driven and takes some getting used to, but one of the four side-buttons allows you to switch between modes – Idle, Skype and Web – swiftly.

It’s easy to see the WP-S1 being used by people who want to keep in touch with their families. But it is missing some of the key features that a lot of Skype lovers use and value, such as the ability to send files between Skype users – including pictures and movies that can otherwise only be sent via MMS, Bluetooth or email. And the option to use your paid Skype account to dial foreign numbers is not available, so don’t expect to be able to use the WP-S1 to make overseas phone calls for free.

Overall, the WP-S1 isn’t a bad offering for the price. But a poor man’s iPhone it’s certainly not.

Now that the iPhone is a household commodity {insert witty remark here}, it is of course natural that everyone wants all the accessories and conveniences as possible.  One such accessory is Apple’s Handsfree Bluetooth Headset.

When asked, “How does Apple’s Bluetooth Headset work with iPhone?”, one reviewer – Julian Schrader, answered:

To put it bluntly: Great. The headset comes with a new, slightly bigger iPhone docking station. Connect it to your Mac/PC via USB, insert iPhone and put the headset in its place where a MagSafe-like connector waits to hold it.
