Meant to post this the other day but I never got a chance to do so – Gizmodo posted a review of the upcoming Belkin Wi-Fi Phone for Skype here on their website. The Belkin Skype phone is an interesting product in that it doesn’t require a PC in order for it to work properly. You just need to have a secured or open access to a Wi=Fi network. In fact, all you need is a Wi-Fi network that doesn’t require a browser based authentication system. The phone is pre-loaded with Skype softare and features the same Skype interface. The phone supports WEP, WPA, and WPA2 with PSK support. Looks and sounds cool – what does Gizmodo think of the phone (keep in mind that they got a pre-production unit)?

All in all, a pretty good Skype WiFi phone that actually looks nice enough to be carried around with you to work or to connect to WiFi hotspots around the city. Everything’s good in this phone including call quality, button feel, and wireless reception. I could walk around the entirety of my apartment and still hear pretty clearly.
