D-Link V-CLICK Dual-Mode GSM / Wi-Fi Phone

D-Link V-CLICKI 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.
