Mazingo ICED Mobile Phone
Crave reports on the Mazingo ICED mobile phone, a new entry from a new company into the mobile phone market. While it’s a featured packed phone - including Bluetooth, a Web browser, a 2.0 megapixel camera, touch screen, a speakerphone and an MP3 player, what caught our eye was what Crave noted about the ICED’s WiFi and VoIP support:
“Of course, it’s the Wi-Fi VoIP support that has us shaking like a child who’s just been told he’s going to Disney Land. According to Mazingo, the ICED phone will come with a built-in VoIP application that will let you make calls to other mobiles and landlines (over Wi-Fi) for only £6.95 per month. When you buy a Mazingo ICED with this VoIP service, you will be allocated a Mazingo number that lets you make and receive calls via a Wi-Fi connection using VoIP. When you’re out of range of a Wi-Fi hotspot, the phone will automatically switch back to your GSM network provider (you’ll have to provide your own SIM card).”
According to Crave, the phone should be available summer, 2006.
