Belkin announced in January that they were releasing a Desktop Internet Phone for Skype. It has a color screen, supports "over 500" Skype contacts, and supports SkypeIn and SkypeOut. The phone also features speed dial, call hold/release, call pickup/park, mute, redial, hold, call-timer display, and contact list.

Personally, I don't see the point of a fixed telephone anymore. I don't even have room for such a beast on my desk. At least the WiFi Skype phones can be used anywhere you have WiFi.

While the original press release said March of 2008 for availability, the phone was not available for purchase at press time. It will have a suggested retail of $99.
