Looking more like a digital desktop calendar more than anything else with its pyramid-like shape, the upcoming “Style” from Korea Telecom has features that can put any other internet phone to shame.  Its large 7-inch touchscreen display is equipped to act as a video/music player, a digital photo frame, a widget holder, and also facilitate video calls (using Video Response System instead of the usual Audio Response System) aided by the stereo speakers.  There’s about a gig of memory crammed in and the Style can provide up-to-date information on weather, stocks, news, and traffic, not to mention basic online money transactions.

The Style VOIP phone is expected to be available starting this March in Korea for 200000 KRW (about 150), which actually seems to be a fair price considering the features it offers.

For the wise spender, everyone knows that you can save a lot if you use the web as an alternative means of communication.

A good device to use especially if you happen to be far from home is the Verizon Hub VoIP phone. It is a great alternative concept in communicating when you find yourself away from home.

Verizon has a new Hub to cater to such a crowd, being an intuitive device that puts a communications command center in the home while merging both wireline and wireless connectivity.

In order to get started with the Verizon Hub, you will need a 911 service, a home broadband connection, a wireless router and Verizon Wireless’ service. The Verizon Hub will retail for $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a two-year agreement, while additional cordless handsets will retail for $79.99 a pop.
