3mobilebuzz: All 3 Skypephone News, All the Time

Have you seen 3mobilebuzz yet? It's a new site from 3 "bringing you all the buzz about 3's mobiles, price plans, products and services." It just launched and so far it's been focusing on the 3 Skypephone, chronicling (in impressive detail) reactions from journalists and bloggers (including yours truly) to the new phone.

It already has a ton of great content; I've got a few favorite posts which include:

This set of PowerPoint slides showing off the phone's features
This podcast between John Penberthy-Smith (3's marketing director) and influential blogger and podcaster Neville Hobson
This post noting blogger Dale Lane's reaction about the good (and bad) aspects of the phone
This post linking to blogger Dan York's photos (mine certainly did not turn out that well--I think I need a better camera!)

Posts on the site are going up like wildfire--it's becoming a fantastic resource. Check it out here.

May I ask you: this phone has any lock to avoid it's use in other countries?
I have a 3G cell phone here in Brazil, may I buy a 3 Skypephone and use my own chip with this one?
Or Skype is using the same strategy that apple is using with Iphone, to sell blocked phones?

Oh, and were can I find more tech specs of this phone? I'd like to know more about the band, frequency etc.

Hi! Anyone tell me about Skype-out and Skype-in funcitions of this 3's Skypephone?
In my thought, this phone only provides Skype to Skype calls and chat! Am I right?

My suggestion is not to buy this phone! Here are some question and answers on the phone once they scam you into buying it.

Can I use SkypeOut, SkypeIn, Skype SMS or Skype video calls? No, you can only make and receive Skype to Skype voice calls. Some mobiles also use Skype Chat.

Can I use Skype when roaming? No

Can I use Skype when I'm overseas? No.

Well when I saw and bought the phone, agreeably I didn't review the fine print, but I thought it would have the same functionality as the one on my computer... well it is far from it.

Second and most important. I live in the city in Brisbane and the phone constantly goes on "Roaming" so Skype doesn't work.

Third and the most painful. Skype will not connect some times with my username. I then try my partners and hers will work.... I have made one call on it since I bought it and it dropped out.

Do not waste your money on this crappy fone.
