You are all probably all familiar with concept of Skype, free international phone calls via VOIP technology. Now the communications's giant has struck a deal with mobile telephone network Hutchison 3G, better known as 3 Mobile.

They have created a mobile/cell phone that lets you call or chat with any of your friends who are also on Skype anywhere in the world, anytime and because its Skype its totally free! With a dedicated Skype button you can connect to more than 246 million users on the Skype network and away you go. For as long as you like. Without paying a penny extra.

The only catch is that you top up at least £10 a month to keep everything free but that £10 is for your airtime to standard lines. I think £10 a month is a great deal considering i could ring someone from Australia and stay on the line for 3 hours and it wouldn't cost a penny. Plus i get £10 to play around with for land line and other mobile calls.

Now lets get stuck into the phone!

So overall not bad huh? Now the price tag. I was expecting a price of something between 100-150 pounds but at only £50! its a steal! There's no other phone that offers a 2.0 megapixel camera, 256mb Memory and Bluetooth not to mention the free international calls.

I have ordered one of these and will be getting it in the post the day after boxing day, full write up on its way!
