Belkin : Skype, mobile & Wifi in Amsterdam

As I could tell in an audio podcast a few days ago, Belkin made it's European Press Presentation in Amsterdam on 22nd of August.

What I told in this podcast is that I've been able to test the use of the new Wireless WiFi Belkin Skype Phone with my Mobile Phone which is equipped with WiFi and Windows Mobile.

My mobile phone which works on GSM network is a quadriband Qtek 9100.

As we were experiencing the new Belkin draft N router called N1, I wanted to see whether my personal mobile phone would be able to connect to the network and having connections to Internet or whatever.

My Qtek was already configured with skype that I use at each time I have a WiFi connection. It could work with a GPRS connection but I pay the amount of data for this type of use

In fact, seing the new Belkin skype phone at the same time was also a good occasion to test it as a mobile phone equipment of the home with another device which is a real mobile phone in the terms that it works normally on GSM network even when it is connected with WiFi.

As you can see on the film shot on the press exhibition, the belkin mobile uses a nice small display which is easy to use because it has the same kind of user friendly menus that the original skype software gives.

In the test, we try to call my mobile which is already connected to skype network on internet through the Belkin N1 router. As you can see, and hear, the phone rings.

It is a "rooter" and no a "rou-ter" as the packets from the WAN interface have their route or next hop selected intelligently using NAT. Stupid yanks. Learn to talk. Incidentally. I am english.
