Zyxel V660 VoIP Smartphone With Windows Mobile 5.0

Zxyel has released a converged WiFi/GPRS/GSM quad-band V660 Smartphone with built-in VPN support. The phone is targeted towards SMB and consumers - not the enterprise. The V660 is powered by Microsoft Windows Mobile Edition 5.0 and combines form and function with its 1.9-inch display. The mobile phone also includes a 2.0 megapixel camera, video and MP3 player, 64mb on-board memory, a MicroSD expandable memory slot for further storage capacity and comes with Skype software pre-installed.

Zyxel V660 Additional Features and Functionality

The network neutral Zyxel V660 smartphone is an open platform system that can integrate freely with any IP telephony service and/or mobile provider and can be loaded with any Microsoft Mobile compatible software. Skype provides SMBs and consumers with access to free calls to Skype accounts, whilst also offering discounted calls to landlines.

The V660 provides access to a range of Microsoft applications including Pocket Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player and Pocket Outlook for push email, calendar and contacts. Microsoft ActiveSync provides a platform for transferring data to and from the device to ensure compatibility. In addition the V660 will support Microsoft Office Mobile enabling access to applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Zyxel V660 First Impressions

The latest in a long string of dual mode gsm/wi-fi phones to hit the market in recent months, the Zyxel V660 is filled to the gills with features and functionality, but without a cellular provider that offically supports it, use of the phone will be clumsy. Having dabbled with a number of the dual mode phones on the market today, I can say that someday these phones will be the only phone you will ever need, but right now it is easier to keep your cellualr phone and Wi-Fi phone seperate.
