If you are not too familiar with the 3, it also comes with Skype preinstalled so you can make Skype to Skype calls. The phone also comes preinstalled with Windows live messaging these are two applications that make 3 stand out from many other networks who do not particularly like you making Skype calls naturally because it’s much cheaper.

At this stage I’m not sure if this will be launched in Ireland but if you are in the UK you can expect to pay £120 on pay-as-you-go

Posted on May 6, 2009 by ColmNo Comments

It’s amazing what you can find out there and I have just come across this image of an LG Cookie, which is actually a clone of the real product. I’m sure the designers at the phone manufacturers are not happy chappies when they see this type of thing.

The actual phone comes with 3? QVGA display, dual-SIM capability, 1.3MP camera and 900/1800MHz GSM connectivity. We believe that the knock off the phone is for sale for about $110 but you would probably actually get to real one for not too much more than this.
