D-Link V-CLICK Dual-Mode GSM / Wi-Fi Phone
I have been thinking about getting a cell phone for quite some time now, and these new phones that allow for connection to 802.11 Wi-Fi networks are a very interesting prospect for me, especially ones like the D-Link V-CLICK that allows you to switch to a cellular mode.
The V-CLICK has a slot for your cellular service provider’s SIM Smartcard or chip, and when you enter a Wi-fi hot spot, a quick press of the V-CLICK button and the phone activates or deactivates the Wi-Fi connection so you can make that cheap, or sometimes even free VIOP phone call.
The D-Link V-CLICK phone features standards-based wireless encryption (WEP, WPA and WPA2) built in for enhanced security of transmission.
Features of the D-Link V-CLICK phone include:
- Wi-Fi profile roaming for uninterrupted service between wireless zones
- Opera Mobile browser for hot spot log-in and Web surfing
- Email functionality - 50 emails can be stored in up to 10 accounts
- Large color screen display with 176 by 220 pixels
- Smart text input
- Talk time - up to 5 hours GSM, 2 hours 802.11 wireless mode
- Messages - up to 30 messages can be stored at 459 characters each
- Phonebook - up to 300 contacts
- Data storage - up to 24 megabytes for documents, images, music and video files.
- Tasks - stores up to 100 entries
- Calendar - up to 100 events, 160 letters per event
- Charging - 3 hours, first time charge 8 hours
- Compact design with internal antenna
- Power-saving mode for maximum standby and talk time
V-CLICK phones are scheduled to ship early in 2007 at a suggested retail price of $599.99.
