Английская Википедия:3 Skypephone S2
The 3 Skypephone S2 is a UMTS, GSM and VoIP mobile phone. The phone is the successor to 3 Skypephone and the second phone from the 3 Skypephone Series.
iSkoot
The 3 Skypephone S2 runs on the iSkoot for Skype platform to provide its Skype service. iSkoot's shutdown of this service on 20 January 2011[1] caused this phone to show a non-functioning "click to upgrade" link, although some other phones were not affected.[2] No warning was given by Three for this shutdown, and visiting the Three website shows they removed the Skypephone from their product offerings. This violates Three's own terms and conditionsШаблон:Citation needed and the "Free Skype forever" promise[3] leaving customers very angry and unable to use the arguably main functionality of this phone.[4]
