PC-less VoIP Wi-Fi Phone
Who needs a PC for VoIP Wi-Fi functionality? With the WLAN800I phone, all you need is an 802.11b/g wireless access point connected to the internet.
The company BCM has a multi-format VoIP Wi-Fi phone based on the Windows CE kernel. The WLAN800I is compatible with Skype, SIP services, MSN Talk, and MSN Messenger.
The battery life is approximately 60 hours in standby mode and it has around three hours of talk time. A mini-USB connector is used as the charger.
It features a built in media player, and you can watch your media in 65,000 colors on a 2.2 in screen with 240 x 320 pixel resolution. The WLAN800 also has 32MB of flash memory and 64MB of SDRAM.
The cell can connect to someone using a web camera through MSN Messenger, of course, they still can’t see you. Ah well. Another bit of coolness is the ability to store 10 wireless profiles for quick access for when you move between wireless access points, it also supports major hotspot companies, such as T-Mobile. Support is available for WEP and WPA encryption, and DHCP and static IP addresses.
How about other features? Well, the WLAN800 supports three-way calling, and has vibration mode, true tones ring tones, a phone book with 250 contacts, call history for the last 20 dialed numbers, and a web browser.
The WLAN800 is expected to be released in mid July, but so far there’s no distributor in the UK.
