7 Comments
D-Link said Monday it would begin shipping its "clamshell" Wi-FI phone, which is compatible with VoIP services like Vonage. Available in two colors, black and silver, the phone operates very much like the cell phones they are patterned after. Included is a color screen, caller ID, polyphonic ringtones, 100 entry address book, and text messaging support.
According to D-Link, the phone is capable of three hours of talk time, and up to 70 hours of standby time, which is about half of the battery life of average cellular phones. It supports three types of Wi-Fi encryption, WEP, WPA, and WPA2, and will support the Public SIP Telephone Network through a future firmware upgrade. Both the D-Link DPH-540 and DPH-541 retail for $249.99 USD.
