03.03.2006 , Skype cordless uses Bluetooth
A Bluetooth handset designed for Skype will arrive in the UK April. The Trendnet Clearsky VoIP phone, which works with a Bluetooth dongle to access all the normal Skype functions, will be available from Elite Devices in April.
"It's very, very straightforward," said Ron Pye of Elite Devices. "There's a display which makes it as easy as Skype software. It gives you a buzz when your contacts come online."
The Bluetooth 2.0 dongle - which has a range of up to 100m - activates Skype software when the phone is in use, but also acts as a regular Bluetooth adapter, for communicating with other phones, headsets and similar devices.
"You can walk round a decent sized open plan office making a phone call," said Pye, who has used the device. "I walked to the local park using it." The dongle also supports the enhanced data rate (EDR) of Bluetooth 2.0
As well as Skype, the phone can also be used to "dial" calls over IM software such as MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger. It has a longer battery life than Wi-Fi phones, at 60 hours standby, and 6 hours talk time.
Although this version only has a mono screen, Trendnet is expected to produced a colour screen version, and the same thing could be implemented in software on mobile phone with Bluetooth - in much the same way as BT's Bluephone used Bluetooth for indoor voice.
It is already possible to do Skype on cordless phones, either by buying Skype DECT phones such as the Linksys CIT200, or using a USB interface like the ActionTec Phone Wizard to connect a conventional DECT phone.
