3's Skype phone: push the button for free calls... [more images]

3 has confirmed to us that they're releasing a Skype branded mobile: letting you make free calls to other users of the VoIP service on your cell.

We had a good look last week and it really is a peach. There's a Skype dedicated button situated bang in the middle, with a cool straightforward interface.

Hit it and you'll find all your Skype in one place. One touch and you'll be making calls over the net for nowt.

It's dead easy to use, but best of all it costs a mere £50 on 3 prepay. So no lashing out for a fancy contract and phone with loads of extras here.

However, you will find a 2-meg camera and an MP3 player.

To make sure you get free calls, you need to top up a tenner a time. Not exactly a hardship is it? It's yours from November 2nd, that's this Friday.
