Skype Phone II?

According to a friend in the business, a new release of the popular
SkypePhone from 3 is due in a matter of weeks. With such features as HSDPA
support and two camera modules (one on the front for video calling), Does
anyone have any further info on this? I was hoping to find some info online,
but google didn't find anything about it. Due out August/September
according to my source.

Sounds good, but it's the Nokia 6120 on 3 for me.
On contract, 3 are now chucking in a 4gb micro SD with it.

I got my wife a skypephone and she hates it. Which? did a test on
mobiles recently and it did very badly so at least in August when her 6
months expire I can get her something better.

Yes, there is a new 3skypephone coming - photos of it recently appeared
on the web, thanks to the FCC(*) in America evaluating it. See here:

(*)This doesn't mean 3 are launching a US service as some people seem to
think, I believe it's because the phone must be rated by them for it to
be legal to use the phone in the USA when roaming.

Granted it's not the best but it certainly out performs (re: signal) of
any phone I've ever experienced inc. the Nokia 6500s-1

The 3SkypePhone can hold it's own in this department which means heaps
if you use Skype and or messenger ;-)
