If you are a heavy mobile business user then you would be well advised to take advantage of IP telephony to cut out your bills! Skype are the leading provider of IP telephony and with the S2 have added a lot more features and applications to their IP phone. The 3 Skypephone did the job ok, but it was often criticised for being too basic, responding to this, Skype have added a wealth of additional features. The Skypephone S2 features and improved display which makes a big difference. Download speeds have also been increased with the addition of HSDPA. A really useful feature of the Skype S2 is that it is supplied with Windows drivers allowing it to be used as a Modem. Once set up, you can connect the S2 to your laptop and use it in a similar way to a USB broadband Modem, however, be careful if you do this as data transfers on standard mobile contracts can be expensive. If you plan on using mobile broadband a lot then you may still be better off with a mobile broadband package / USB modem.
The S2 is equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera and 50MB of internal memory. The memory can be expanded to 4GB via a MicroSD expansion slot.
The S2 is available free on contracts starting at just from just £15 per month, which will give you free calls to other Skype users from anywhere in the word!
Of course these Skypephones are also compatible with the standard mobile networks and this deal offers 300 text messages and 300 minutes of talk time per month.
