Skype Offers 3G Mobile Phone

The much speculated upgrade to 3G mobile phone by Skype could after all be around the corner if the news from Skype is anything to go about. The 3G mobile phone is called 3's Skypephone and it allows users to make free Skype to Skype VoIP calls and send free Skype instant messages to other Skype users.

The Federal Communications Commission, the US agency in charge of communications regulation, has given its approval to the device and following this approval, the images of the upgraded version were made available on 'Just Another Mobile Phone Blog'.

The phone which is called IMP2 is given a code name WMA8709. The
phone's camera seems to have been upgraded to 3.2MP, and the device
still offers Wi-Fi although the 3G functionality seems to have disappeared.
