The RTX Dualphone 3088 is the first Skype phone that can be operated without the need of a computer (it doesn’t even need to be turned on). All you need to do is plug the phone into your landline for ordinary calls and into your broadband connection for Skype calls. Switching between the two can be done at the push of a button.
“As well as freeing users from the PC, the DUALphone has a simple Skype user interface and possesses nearly all Skype voice features for which Skype software is known. The cordless aspect of the product is provided by DECT, a wireless technology well known for high reliability, low cost and no interference problems. The phone base station connects easily to the broadband router and the phone line. The new DUALphone 3088 has a colour display and an operating time of more than 10 hours of talk time as well as up to 140 hours at standby.“
The Dualphone 3088 is available for £109.99 ($208) from SkypeStyle.
