CeBIT 2007: RTX introduces new DUALphone Press release, March 19; Eric Mah, DIGITIMES [Monday 19 March 2007]
RTX Telecom on March 16 announced the launch of its new DUALphone 3058, an integrated ordinary phone and cordless Internet USB phone for use with Skype. The DUALphone 3058 is a cordless USB phone that is connected to a regular telephone socket and works with Skype by using the USB port on a PC. Users are then free to make cordless Skype calls with the handset anywhere in the home or office. The handset's color display shows whether other Skype users on your contact list are available. If they are, users simply have to press the Skype button to talk to them for free, according to RTX. To reach friends or colleagues who are offline or do not use Skype, users can simply use the ordinary landline via the Public Switched Telephone Operator connection as normal. Alternatively, they can make SkypeOut calls to landlines and mobiles anywhere in the world. Skype users can also purchase an optional SkypeIn number that allows them to receive calls from regular telephones via Skype. The DUALphone 3058 product features a hands-free speakerphone, a color display on the handset and supports Windows Vista. In addition, the unit uses DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology. The DUALphone 3058 will be available from April 1 at a recommended reseller price of 89 euros.
