Philips plans new VoIP phone
Philips and Microsoft are joining forces to create a new VOIP433 Dual Phone that combines the Internet and PSTN phone features.
What does that mean? Communication’s easier. You’ve got a traditional phone that acts as a VoIP phone too—thanks to the Windows Live Messenger Service (the new incarnation of MSN Messenger).
It basically works like this. You can reach anyone in your Windows Messenger list of contacts—your best friend, your sister, even that cute chick you met on the dating site, all reachable in just one click of the mouse. How? You get 3 choices. Make voice calls through a PC to PC call, make a relatively cheap PC to phone call via MCI Web, or use the traditional landline phone service.
The phone also has a really cool advanced colour screen where you can “see” your friend’s online persona, with dynamic icons. You’ll even get delivery reports on the phone, just in case you missed their call.
The phone is completely portable, and doesn’t require a degree in rocket science to put up: plug it, use it, enjoy it! No expensive installation fees and frustrating calls to customer service. And the lines are clear (this is VoIP after all).
The VOIP433 will debut in Europe, Asia Pacific (Autralia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore) and Latin America (Argentina, Brazil). Not too long to wait, now, this baby will be ready for purchase in the spring of 2006. Time to update your messenger contact list!
Oh really!!! If so, I would be much happy because I am a big user of Philips products. VoIP is itself a big technology and with Philips it would be great.
Philips’ products have great quality. I have been a user of thier products since long. Hope VoIP by them would be equally great and user-friendly.
