D-Link Unveils Unlocked, Dual-Mode GSM/WiFi Phone
D-Link, the end-to-end networking solutions provider for consumers and business, has rolled out a new line of 'V-CLICK' dual-mode phones that allow users to switch between cellular and Wi-Fi networks with the click of a button.
When it begins shipping during the first quarter of 2007, the new D-Link V-CLICK line of phones will feature tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900 Mhz) and 802.11 Wi-Fi (2.4Ghz) access. By sliding a cellular service provider's SIM Smartcard or chip into the V-CLICK phone, the user automatically gains GSM access. Stored phone numbers and address books are also automatically taken into the phone via the SIM Smartcard or chip.
With a press of the V-CLICK button, the phone is said to activate or deactivate the Wi-Fi connection that allows users to access web sites or an Internet phone service.
D-Link V-CLICK phones boast a black compact form factor (h 4.17", w 1.73", d 0.75"), with additional colors planned to fit any lifestyle. The V-CLICK phones support Opera Mobile, a mobile browser for logging into Wi-Fi hot spots, web surfing and e-mail functionality on the V-CLICK's two-inch (176x220 pixels) bright color screen.
In addition to operating like regular cell phones that communicate within a nationwide wireless network, D-Link V-CLICK phones aim to reduce cell phone service costs by switching to the 802.11 wireless mode and connecting to lower-cost Internet telephone services. These services are available by way of well-advertised affordable consumer plans or from a cellular service provider network.
Key features of the D-Link V-CLICK phone include:
D-Link's first V-CLICK dual-mode, tri-band mobile phone is scheduled to ship early next year. Manufacturer's suggested retail price is expected to be USD 599.99. D-Link also plans to offer accessories for its new dual-mode phone products.
