TRENDnet's TVP-SP1BK ClearSky Skype Bluetooth phone

Ah, TRENDnet, fine purveyors of many a WiFi detecting and/or Bluetooth USB dongle, have announced what appears to be amongst the first Bluetooth VoIP handsets we've seen 'round these parts, the ClearSky TVP-SP1BK. Ugly though it may be, it is in fact a Bluetooth 2.0 EDR device with up to 100 meter distance, which means you can carry on with all your eBay Skype-call auction inquiries at a fair distance from your actual computer for a mere $99.99 or less when it makes its debut next month.

In my opinion, non compter reqired skype phone may not debut until the end of this year. It is not easy to convince me to use a hardware in chatting software function. Like msn or other messenger, Skype always updates their software. I doubt if the stand-alone skype phone can be used for long time whereas skype software changes frequently.

Like VOIP phone, SIP adapter is hard to set up behind AP/Router with firewall which we change it frequently because of following tech, such as 11n, MIMO. I prefer using Softphone, xten, rather than it. At least, it is hassle free to discover my firewall automatically.
