Skype and Thomson have come together to offer you the GE DECT 6.0™ Wireless Handset. It is called the GE 28300EE2 and with it you can make both Skype and landline calls along with internet and traditional line conferencing. With this phone you can enjoy high quality, interference free calls. Expect this device to be made available at fall at an estimated price of $149.

For your convenience this phone comes up with an inbuilt speakerphone capability and its LCD screen looks impressive too. There are separate call logs for both traditional and internet contacts in the address book. This phone would certainly appear to older people as it is has a hearing aid compatibility. Also the phone has an impressive standby time of 120 hours and a talktime of 10 hours. The phone makes use of power management technology.
