Topcom Webt@lker 5000 VoIP Phone For Skype

Topcom Webt@lker 5000
Announced at CES, the Topcom WebT@lker 5000 VoIP phone for Skype is just the type of product Skype needs to drive usage of their service by the business and enterpise sectors. The Topcom Webt@lker 5000 is a full feature IP phone for Skype that does not require a PC. Essentially, the Webt@lker is just like any other VoIP IP phone, but it was made specifically for Skype.

Topcom Webt@lker 5000 Features and Functionality

The Topcom Webtalker 5000 is a true plug-n-play device that is easy to install. One of the great features of the Webt@lker 5000 is that the corded phone can connect be connected to a Wi-Fi network via the Topcom Wireless Expansion Kit which gives the Webt@lker 5000 the flexibility to be used in just about an area. The Topcom Webt@lker 500 also boasts:

Topcom Webt@lker 5000 First Impressions

Although I was unable to get a live demo of the unit at CES, the product was solidly built and certainly had a “business class” feel. As I remarked above, I believe this is the sort of product that allow for greater acceptance of Skype as a business type service. The Topcom Webt@lker appears to have the same features and functionality of any other desktop IP phone on the market. Although Skype as a service is still missing some business class features, it is promosing to see them pushing product manufacturers to release business class hardware for Skype.

Although the Topcom Webt@lker 5000 won’t be out until next quarter (April), if you are looking for a business class phone for Skype, it is well worth the wait. With a suggested retail price of $199.99 USD, it is very liley you will be able to pick one of these up for uner $180 dollars, making this phone a great value and must have.

    Gentlemen,
    It is my suggesting that to make this product more user friendly, add a feature of wi fi adaptability.
    If I need to attach Ethernet Cable, I use this way and if I prefer to use the phone as Desk Phone, but without having to search for Ethernet Cable, I just press a button to activate the inbuilt wifi, similar to what we do on a Laptop Computer.
    This will make the mobility of this desk phone more than what it is today.

    If you accept this advice, I deserve the first set to me FREE Ha ha…

    Thanks
    Birbal Verma
