The user interface is pretty frustrating to use and the browser is average, but as Chris says above, the possibilities of unlimited talk are pretty exciting for someone on a budget!

Your able to use Skype for free, so who's going to complain about that? It'll be like having mobile phones, and if your friends all have them you can all talk unlimited for a month for only 12 euro!!! how wicked would that be? The only think that i would wonder about is how skype would work under enormous pressure.

I think that if they can properly explain the benefits of this service to the UK then it will be a hit, although hardly anyone understands VOIP.

The SkypePhone certainly takes the configuration time out of current smartphone with VoIP set-up and takes advantage of 3 networks cheaper calling plans but it does not have the same appeal or hype surrounding the iPhone. Cheap calls or latest Gadget? - You decide. The offering are very different, touchscreen or cheap calls.
