The 3 Skypephone series was a range of 3G mobile phones made as a global project by the Three brand network.
The project was initiated by Three's global handset team, some of whom later went on to found the mobile phone company INQ.
The phones were sold in Australia, Austria, Denmark, Italy, Ireland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Macau, but the service has now been discontinued.
Free Skype-to-Skype calls and instant messages were only available in the country where the phone was purchased, or while roaming on Three's sister networks.
The Skypephone project was a collaborative effort, with Three's global handset team working closely with Skype and Qualcomm.
