Skype users looking for a phone on which to chat now have two more handset choices: USRobotics’ USR9601 Internet Phone (suggested retail price $49.95) and USR9602 Internet Mini Phone ($24.95).

 

 The new phones—which join similar handsets made by companies such as Belkin, NETGEAR and Polycom—both provide Skype (News - Alert) integration via USB connection.

 

Both phones also incorporate enhanced technology to prevent echo and resolve “tunnel sound,” and integrated keypad with speed-dial functionality.

 

“These two new USB phones demonstrate our commitment to providing all users of Skype with easy to use, reliable phones,” said Anurag Batta, VoIP Product Manager at USRobotics, in a press release.

 

Batta added: “Coupled with our speakerphone and telephone adapter, we now have a selection of products for both home and business users of Skype.”

USRobotics’ new phones are now available at major retailers and online.
