Disappointed With Your Skype Phone?

Hey, you're new around here aren't ya? Did you know you can every post FREE in your EMAIL or via RSS? Oh and if you're a Twit like me you can follow me on Twitter HERE. Enjoy the post.

Martin Geddes posting over at Skype Journal on the plight of Skype Usb phones got me thinking about how poor my experience has been with the vast majority of the usb phones for Skype. Martin’s biggest gripe and one that I agree with has to do with the fact that the phones feature the traditional PSTN keypads. For most (Martin and myself included) they use Skype to call friends or colleagues through the buddy list. While Martin did not seem to think that this post had much value (or importance) as a “hardware guy” I believe this is a great post and one that Skype and those who are producing Skype phones need to read.

I think a great Skype Usb phone would be a PDA type device that was WiFi enabled. It would feature a Speakerphone, BlueTooth, and a touch screen that mimicked the actual Skype client you have on your desktop. Possibly add some additional data features, for price under $200 and I think you’d have something that the business (and residential) user would enjoy.
