What the 3 Skype phone does.. (besides Skype)

So we have the Skype logo emblazoned everywhere and anywhere, as it should be, since Skype is one of the cooler features of the 3 Skype Phone. However, I think that it would be prudent at this point to remind all that the 3 Skype Phone also makes normal calls (You would be surprised at how many people have dropped by my desk to ask me about that this week!) Yes, 3 does provide you with a sim card, so you can use the Skype phone as a normal phone if you so wish.

Apart from its obviously superior skills in call making, the 3 Skype Phone is also great for taking photos with its 2MP camera (See example on the left.. you will have to click in to see the full detail of the pic), and you can save pics to the microSD memory card (512MB included free in the box), bluetooth them to nearby devices (sharing incriminating pics/files with friends, anyone? ;P) or MMS/Email them.

The 3 Skype Phone is also great for music (yes, you can keep music on the memory card too) and there is a stereo headset included with the phone, though you may want to splash out on a bluetooth stereo headset if you want to cut down on the wires. The 3 Skype Phone is also 3G enabled, which means lightning fast access to Planet 3 and all the online goodness that comes with that - download games, ringtones, mobile tv just to name a few :) The phone is also very small and light, just a tiny bit bigger than a Nano, and very sturdy (though we can't guarantee it will survive any wash cycles).
