If you remember real early cell phones from Motorola that you carried in a bag, and appropriately called bagphone, transportable or luggable phone, the bag phone contained a heavy cellular transceiver with a large battery enclosed in a leather bag. Since battery life wasn't good, most people plugged the unit into a car's cigarette lighter and used it while driving. Power output was twice that of the brick, the hand-held cellular phone that borrowed its name from Motorola's first Handie-Talkie. Dwarfing any present hand-held, except perhaps satellite phones, the brick's battery itself was larger than most cell phones on the market today.

Now you have a chance to revisit history. This time with added new technology Wireless, VoIP, Skype and of course a lighter and nicer phone, Panasonic KX-WP1050 Wi-fi Skype phone.

But it has also bringing another era for Skype. To have main stream manufacturers like Panasonic producing the phone for them. So folks whether you like it or not, skype will be here for a long time. And might as well see how you can best use it.
And for those interested in technology, develop something like Coosip.

With the Panasonic KX-WP1050, Panasonic has taken the complexity out of making Skype™ calls by including a complete kit which can be set up and used by virtually anyone with little or no computer experience. The included router simplifies the set up of the Wi-Fi access point, and guarantees a secure wireless connection with automatic 256-bit AES encryption setup (WPA). The router can also be plugged into a hotel or office network giving the user a wireless connection for their laptop and the ability to use the Wi-Fi phone simultaneously. The AC adapter is compatible with all voltages from 100V to 240V, so it can be used by simply attaching the AC cord (sold separately) for a particular country.

The phone is priced at $399.00 for the kit and follow the links for Panasonic site and a good review by, whom but the best, Skype itself.
