VoIP calls without a PC

Philips has launched what it claims to be the world's first VoIP-enabled DECT cordless phone that lets you make calls over the internet without switching your PC on.

The VOIP841 connects directly to an Ethernet broadband modem rather than a computer, making and receiving Skype-to-Skype and traditional landline calls via the handset or hands-free speakerphone. It can store up to 500 contacts, informing you when each is online, and features 15 polyphonic ringtones to assign to different callers.

Available from next month for around £130, find out more about the VOIP841 at Phones Philips.
