Panasonic KX-WP800 Skype VoIP phone: FON app with Wi-Fi router

If you have ¥29,800 (£144) then the Panasonic KX-WP800 Skype VoIP phone with FON app with Wi-Fi router. Oh yes what we like about this phone is that it has a clever little thing going on.

It will allow you to connect to the FON Wi-Fi sharing network which is fantastic because it means you will get free calls.

The handset itself is pretty standard other than the FON application onboard and the mini Wi-Fi router, oh yes create an open FON hotspot at home. So you get free Wi-Fi calls thanks to the 802.11b/g router, the handset can be pre-programmed to automatically log onto any FON spot it comes across, but can – of course – also use a plain vanilla connection instead.

You will get 4.5 hours of talk time and 55 hours of standby and the phone weighs 100g. The Panasonic KX-WP800 goes on sale in Japan at the end of this month.
