Skype has finally given out an official announcement about the Skype phone. It will be in UK stores on Friday on the 3 network.

No word yet on a German release date!     GGRRRRR!!!!

The design is quite nice (I also saw a picture of a black model) and according to Skype, the phone “lets you make free Skype-to-Skype calls and send free Skype instant messages from anywhere. Not just from the desktop, not just from the office. From anywhere.

And it works the other way, too. That is, if your friend in the US runs Skype on her desktop and calls you over Skype, your Skypephone will ring. And the call won’t cost either of you a penny.”

To quote Cartman : “SWEET!”
