3 Skype WiFi phones for FON September 7, 2006


We are waiting for 3 WiFi Skype phones to arrive shortly and a close look unveils why they are not available yet although 2 of them should already. The Belkin phone ($189) was announced to be available August 31st (and is still on pre-order) and the Netgear ($249) is now scheduled for October 15th (also delayed). FONs Skype phone ($150) will be bundled with a router (which doubles as charger) and is scheduled for November. We have photoshopped the images and it looks like all three are based on the same OEM model. Would be nice to find out the original manufacturer. Any ideas?

I believe the OEM manufacturer is Accton.

[…] Thanks to Gerhard over at fonblog.de we found one of the widely announced WiFi phones is now finally available (we reported earlier). Before we digg deeper into it, though, we must warn you: it is not yet available in the USA or Canada. However, as it has some US specific agency approval it is most likely to be launched here shortly. Maybe some other vendor has exclusivity for a period of time? […]
