Skypephone S2 now available

This post was written in August 2008; specific information contained within it may be out of date.

The Skypephone S2 is now available for purchase from the 3 Store. It’s sleeker, shinier and all round better with a bigger screen and higher resolution camera. It also has the all important modem drivers built in to turn the Skypephone into a 3G broadband modem for your laptop.

Pricing is £69.99 on PAYG or free on a contract and a minimum spend of £10 a month gets you access to Skype for free.

For all those mourning the loss of SMS Twitter messages you’ll be pleased to know you get up to 10,000 free Skype chats and using a service such as twitterforskype or Twitt’d will hook you back up to Twitter. The Skype chats and any Skype calls you make are free.

I’m still waiting for the new Skypephone to arrive, but if you’ve already got one let us know what you think of it compared to the original.

    Thanks Tony – I’ve corrected it. The deal I was looking at included a £10 top up which confused me on the price. :-)
