Philips comes with Live Messenger phone.
Buy VOIP products at VOIP PRO!
June 4th, 2006
We’ve already seen phones that integrate with Skype, now Philips does the same with Live Messenger. They’ve developped the Live Messenger Phone. The approach is the same as with many of the skype handsets. Connect the base station to a Windows XP computer using USB, see your online contacts on the display of your phone and than call them. You can also plug in a normal landline so you can use the phone to call other people as well.
There are a few things I have against phones like these:
- The need for an operating PC to be able to use it,
- The need for Windows XP.
- Only call to Messenger contacts (or Skype)
I think I’ll stick to my ATA adapter and DECT phone!
