Logitech Cordless Internet Handset Press Release

The Logitech Cordless Internet Handset makes using Skype™ on the PC as easy as using an ordinary cordless telephone. The stylish phone offers a crystal-clear calling experience at up to 164 feet/50 meters from the PC — more than enough range for most homes. The Skype Certified™ handset supports the key Skype calling functions, including Skype to Skype calling, SkypeOut™, SkypeIn™, call forwarding to mobile and landline phones or to another Skype user name, and conference calling. A color LCD displays available Skype contacts, offers access to Skype voicemail, and enables people to check incoming and outgoing call logs. It´s simple to scroll to a contact, select it, and click the call button to make a Skype call.

Additional premium features include a hands-free speakerphone mode, an illuminated keypad, and a variety of ring tones. The Logitech Cordless Internet Handset and its charging cradle can be kept in any room — and the phone remains wirelessly connected to the PC and Internet through the included USB base station.

The Logitech Cordless Internet Handset will be available in the U.S. and in Europe beginning in October. Its suggested retail price in the U.S. is $99.99.
