Looks like our Gizmodo friends have got a hold of the new Linksys CIT310 phone. This phone is a cordless that allows you to make free PC-to-PC calls using a Yahoo Messenger with Voice Account.

It seems fitting, with the popularity of Skype and the high costs of cell phone networks, not to mention land-lines. For those reasons, Gizmodo thoroughly enjoyed the Linksys CIT310 PC-to-PC phone. It also has other features, like the support of Yahoo Phone Out, allowing you to make calls to any phone number with rates of two cents. It also supports Yahoo Phone In which allows you to assign a phone number to your PC for only $29 a year. As you can see from the picture, it works via USB port. What you can’t see is its size: it is bigger than a cell phone, but smaller than a regular cordless.

The only thing Gizmodo didn’t like is the menu interface, suggesting that left/right navigation buttons would have helped. They also couldn’t help but comment on how the screen could easily be bigger given the design.

However, it was an overall positive review for the Linksys CIT310. Especially with the 100 hours of standby time and 10 hours of talking time. It doesn’t look like a price has been set quite yet.
