Hip, Hip, Hooray for the 3 Skypephone

In the absence of a thirsty cat, a glass of milk quickly goes sour when left on the kitchen table. Thankfully, awards have a longer shelf life and I hope you’ll excuse my travel-driven tardiness in tipping the old blogger’s sombrero to the Global Mobile Awards panel at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Earlier this week, the 3 Skypephone was highly commended for its innovative approach in the Best Mobile Handset or Device category.

As the judges — industry experts, analysts, journalists and academics — put it, “The Skypephone is an innovative partnership between Hutchison 3 and Skype. In addition to the headline Skype service, the phone offers extremely good value for money with a wide range of features not previously seen at this price point.”

Since the 3 Skypephone was announced in late October, it’s been enjoying an excellent ride in the hands of Skype-loving consumers and it sure feels nice to see the industry recognize the innovation that this handset embodies.

Incidentally, the 3 Skypephone was also one of the main attractions among journalists, bloggers and other visitors to the Skype stand at last Sunday’s Showstoppers. Even as you see more and more Skype-enabled mobile and wireless handsets pop up over time, the 3 Skypephone will continue to play a special role in showing people what’s possible — and what to expect.

    “We all know how people use more than one mobile phone. they often use one for their job, one for their friends. Don’t you think that it is time to apply this to online messengers, too.
    [...]
    … Maybe Skype can provide you with the ability to one Skype account to be attached more than one skype names and each of this names to be controlled from the account. Skype names to be able to be transmitted around accounts like SIM cards in Mobile Phones. It is a good option to be able to log in with your account and to activate only your business account for your needs at the particular moment.” [ http://garabedyan.wordpress.com/2008/03/11/online-messangers-to-be-able-to-log-in-in-parallel-in-more-than-one-account/ ]

    Hi, Does anyone know when the 3 Skypephone will be available in Spain? Also, if I purchased a Pay as You Go version, in England, will it work here in Spain using my Skype Pro account?

    Thanks
