IPEVO launches desktop Skype phone

Tim Higgins

October 11, 2007

IPEVO earlier this week announced a stand-alone Skype desktop phone that can make and receive Skype voice calls without a computer.

The SOLO has an RJ-45 Ethernet connector for LAN connection and works on any broadband Internet connection. The phone comes embedded with Skype software, enabling users to make and receive Skype voice calls right out of the box, and supports Skype-to-Skype, SkypeIn, SkypeOut and Skype Voicemail features.

Key features of the SOLO include:
* One-click speakerphone
* LED indicators for power, missed call, message, mute and speakerphone mode
* Memory keys for speed dials
* 2.4" TFT color LCD display with adjustable viewing angle

The SOLO will be available this month for $169.99 MSRP and comes bundled with a 90 minute SkypeOut voucher, quick start guide, and built-in accounts "to make it easier for non-Skype users".
