skypeRTX50
For the past year I've been looking for a wireless (and pc-less!) phone that I could use with Skype for incoming calls to my business but they were all $200 and above. Suffice to say I was stoked when I found Skype selling the RTX Dualphone 3088 for 50% off the original retail price - including shipping. (I also received an email after placing my order saying I'd been upgraded to express delivery for no additional charge.)
The prices on eBay are all between $100-$200 and on Amazon UK, £83.62.
Features:
- Skype calls without a computer.
- Regular landline calls.
- Cordless phone.
- Indoor range 50m; outdoor range 300m from base station.
- More than 10 hours talk time; up to 100 hours standby time.
- Color LCD screen.
- DECT wireless technology - won’t interfere with WiFi networks.
- Award winning Danish design.
- Supports Skype features like online numbers, calls to phones, voicemail call history, status and other features.
- Contact list for both Skype and landline numbers, automatically synchronized with your Skype account.
- Automatic software updates.
- High quality speakerphone.
- Option to use with serial headset.
In the box:
- Cordless DUALphone handset with belt clip.
- Handset charging cradle with power supply.
- DUALphone base station with power supply.
- Ethernet cable.
- Analog landline cord.
- Installation guide and mini quick guide.
- 2 AAA rechargeable batteries.
You also apparently get 60 min FREE Skype credit - though I'm not sure how that's handled. Possibly a coupon/voucher shipped with the product? I'll update this when my order arrives. I'm also unsure of offer expiry, or how long it's been on sale for that matter.
Apologies for the vagueness but it's an awesome price so I thought I'd share!

Plus:
For $20 more you can get an additional handset @ $102.95
For $30 more you can get TWO additional handsets @ $112.95
(Thanks mighty and jbk!)
IPOD Touch as an alternative ?
