D-Link's got a so-called
new line-up of dual-mode WiFi VoIP / GSM V-Click phones for ya. The big selling point of course, is the ability to quickly toggle between your tri-band 900/1800/1900MHz GSM/GPRS network or unspecified 802.11 WiFi to make low cost VoIP calls. The magic here is in that "v-click" button along the side which flips the WiFi radio. Once enabled, users can make SIP-based VoIP calls or hit the web over the bundled Opera Mobile browser and 176x220 pixel display. Hmmm, those specs sure smack of that Taiwanese
GW1 peeped at CES from Winstron NeWeb Corp and unfurled as the
Neuf Twin dual-mode handset already on sale in France. Let's see, same screen, same dimensions, same radios... yup, we're calling it a rebadge. So are you really going to give D-Link $600 for their logo when it drops in Q1 or pick-up an unlocked, €200/$250 Twin sans contract from your friendly electronics importer? Yeah, thought so.

Sweet! Let's hope it can do more authentication than just WEP...
What exactly does the V stand for? Vergyner? Hmm? IF the button was in the shape of the V, I might let this slide (get it, slide?) But seriously, if they called it "the switcheroo button" that would be way more sick.
The V stands for VoIP
Article has no mention as to the fact that it RUNS LINUX :P
Hm... is there any electronics importer that brings the Neuf Twin this side of the Atlantic?
no quad band GSM?
I think this would make a good Apple product with Apple iSync integration, integrated iPod, remote control for TV functions and remote computer media control. Maybe the rumored Apple/Cingular iPhone will have some of these features.
@Brad:
Any functions you want to load on that non-existant iPhone? How about a foot massager? ;)
"Sweet! Let's hope it can do more authentication than just WEP..."
Apparently it does WPA and WPA2 as well.

V stands for virgins in the industry. D-Stink can go suck it...
