3 Skypephone S2 Update: Details, specs, images and pricing

We have already mentioned about the 3 Skypephone S2 which is the second Skypephone, well 3 (Three) has just released the official specifications and details and indeed some images of this new handset.

The new handset is only 103 x 45 x 14mm, which is not that bad really. You will get much better specs than the first Skypephone such as this new one has a 3.2-megapixel camera, 2.2-inch QVGA screen, 50MB of on-board memory plus the chance to get more memory thanks to the microSD card slot that supports up to 4GB.

There is a 1150mAh battery plus offers HSDPA speeds of up to 3.6Mbps, what we like the most is the fact it has built-in modem drivers so you can use your 3 Skypephone S2 like a dongle.

The 3 Skypephone S2 will go on sale through 3 Store (Three) from August 18th,
the 3 Skypephone S2 integrates your Skype contacts into your phone address book and gives you access to presence information, call logs and Skype Chat.

The price for these phones will be a mere £69.99 on a pay as you go basis.

    it s a brilliant phone if there wasn`t a bug in the phone software. Infact if you browsing online you cannot use the back button and when pushing the back button the page will defragmented in lots of
    squares and you had to go out from everything and start all over again. WOW i am imprest 3 engineer didn`t resolve this issue that seems to
    be a problem for each singolar new skype phone 3.2 megapixel. Also got other little issue like you add to select the type of caratter each time you writing in a different space and cannot be setup just the first time but you had to setup every time you change a page. Brilliant phone for the rest of the service but not enough to sell it @ this price £68 i will say perhaps £38 will be fair for what is like and because the back page is not working i will say to be fair should be a double time at least on browsing time. It s not fair we had to loose our service for some mistakes are not us and it is also a bit unfair because the three take a mic of everybody. Look the video advert in all three store.

    mmm sorry i didn t mensions the three customer service calling 333 from a three phone will tell you that if you are not happy you can change the handset within 14 days. But three store is refusing to change it because there isn t nothing wrong with the handset and is a software issue nobody will change the phone, and no body will give you money back for it because you had to wait until three will send you a new update. The problem is that lots of other friends bought the phone before me 3 mouths ago and the issue has been not repaired yet.
    Very good Customer service and very polite they also try to change your words so you get confuse
    that s a shame that the have spoken with the wrong person.

    Anyway if you like to buy it go a head is not to bad if you just like to use skype and msn or if you like to use your phone as a modem for your laptop.

    That s a shame is not possible to use the back button or the phone will be perfect.

    that s a shame three didn t put an update file for this phone i hope they will do something before
    10 days now! or i will probably would like my money back throught other services and not from three it self because they refuse to change the phone to everybody.

    Good LUCK

    The reported bug in the back button of the browser on the S2 is not a bug at all but an advanced feature.
    Press the back button and the screen display splits into 3 parts vertically with a mini-view of the previous pages.

    You just navigate back and forth and see a mini graphic display of the history of pages visited and simply press the centre button to go there. Most sophisticated.

    Obviously too advanced for some people to realise – yes it took me a few seconds when I first saw the split screen display but soon recognised the my3 web page and worked out what was happening. Only had the phone a matter of hours so don’t know if you can revert to simple text display for back button.
