UK's 3 SkypePhone Gets Camera, Media Functions
Posted by Jason Chen at 3:45 AM on October 27, 2007
The Skype Phone on UK's 3 cellular provider just got leaked, and UK Phone News claims they have a picture of the device but can't show it—but they can tell us details. The Skype phone will have a 2-megapixel camera with photo editing and effects, video capture and an MP3 player with various media functions. The important point is still that a cellular provider is subsidizing/allowing a Skype phone to be used on their network. We're not sure how the pricing is going to work out, but we're certain that the calls won't be free and that they'll eat up your minutes. Your best bet is to get a powerful enough Windows Mobile phone with Wi-Fi and install Skype on that. [UKPhoneNews]
AU: I think Jason is basing his thoughts too much on restrictive American network arrangements and underestimating 3 Mobile and their highly progressive attitudes to mobile data usage. We already have Skype to Skype on our phones here with 3, and they've said it is only a software issue that is delaying full Skype Out access.

@Fierock: I actually dont think its ok to look at a child and think "ohhh my, she will mature into a hottie quite nicely"... I think thats sick.. and maybe its how pedophiles think...
This photo is funny because it implies stuff, not because it gives people some sort of sexual reaction to it. So i think its perfectly fine to use.

@Fierock: umm, first off you address your post to "pedophiles" and then you finish it off by telling them "you have to wait a little longer and should not use this photo in the meantime." Telling this to "pedophiles" is like telling a dog not to lick its own puff-daddy.

pedophiles: WTF does it matter how old she is NOW. You are lusting (and doing whatever else you may be) over this picture of her from 3 or 4 years ago... Back then it was OK to notice that she would probably mature into a hottie just like many other child actresses (Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, Elisha Cuthbert etc.) but you should know that you have to wait a little longer and should not use this photo in the meantime.

but we're certain that the calls won't be free and that they'll eat up your minutes.
Why? A quick check on Three's website shows that on the phones they currently offer with Skype, 5000 minutes of Skype calls are included each month. [three.co.uk]

Emma Watson aka Hermione Granger, is 17.
You can check the map here to see where she's "legal" for you to chat her up....
* (if you actually take the time to look at the map, you're probably a perv and should leave her the heck alone.....)

How can it make Smee laugh? Smee is a character from Peter Pan, not Harry Potter.

to @banmojo and @prodigal_son:
actually, reading the two comments posted just before mine is what prompted me to write something... I completely agree that it is not OK to look at children in a sexual connotation, and it would be sick if I wasn't being cynical about it.
However I don't understand how it is OK to think that this picture is funny because "implies stuff"? what is it implying to you?
besides being more subtle about it, how is what you said any different than what I said?

Basically, 3 will offer you free, yes I repeat, free Skype calls, for as long as you use real mobile minutes. To stop abuse, the mobile minutes must be used within a certain amount of time.
Simple, eh!

@Fierock:
When did Drew Barrymore become a hottie? She's like the chubby girl next door who tries to get your attention because you're looking at her hot mom. "Here chick with a dude's name, take this bag of blow and snort some lines in the basement while I bone your mom."
