The upcoming Skypephone IM2 (until now it was known as S2) from 3 has just passed the FCC and apparently will soon be available for purchase. Unfortunately, we don't know when and where exactly, but the FCC approval means we can expect it in the U.S.

The device will use HSDPA data network instead of GSM to help users save on voice calls. You know, that's how Skype works.

Today the new Skype 3 Skypephone will be available for purchase in the UK for £49.99.

3 Skypephone is a stylish mobile phone that has been developed in partnership with the mobile operator 3. It calls, texts and takes pictures.

You can use it like an ordinary mobile and also make free Skype-to-Skype calls and send instant messages while you're on the move.
