D-Link V-Click Dual Mode Phone

D-Link V-Click GSM/WiFI Mobile Phone

The D-Link V-CLICK allows users to switch between cellular and Wi-Fi networks with the click of a button. With a simple press of the V-CLICK button, the phone activates or deactivates the Wi-Fi connection that allows users to access websites or an Internet phone service, enjoying the convenience of reduced communication costs, faster transfer speeds, and increased productivity resulting from dual-mode phone access.

D-Link V-Click Design

D-Link V-CLICK phones boast a sleek, polished black compact form factor (h 4.17″, w 1.73″, d .75″), with additional colors planned to fit any lifestyle. The V-CLICK phones support Opera MobileTM, a mobile browser for logging into Wi-Fi hot spots, web surfing and email functionality on the V-CLICK’s two-inch (176×220 pixels) bright color screen.

D-Link V-Click Features and Functionality

For regular cell phone coverage, the D-Link V-CLICK phones will be “unlocked” allowing users to use their existing SIMs and pre-paid SIMs from traditional GSM cellular service providers anywhere in the world. By pressing the V-CLICK button, users activate a configurable wireless and SIP profile. Multiple profiles are available that make usage between home and office automatic.

• Tri-Band GSM (900/1800/1900 Mhz) and 802.11 Wi-Fi (2.4Ghz) Access
• Wi-Fi Profile Roaming for Uninterrupted Service between Wireless Zones
• Opera Mobile Browser for Hot Spot Log-in and Web Surfing
• Large Color Screen Display with 176 by 220 Pixels

D-Link V-Click First Impressions

Although dual mode technology is not yet offically supported by any stateside cellular provider, the D-Link V-Click is really a cell phone with VoIP as a feature – essentially you are purchasing a cell phone that supports WiFi with the ability to configure SIP settings. The real gem of dual mode technology is seamless mobility, the ability to move from one network to the other “seamlessly”, and that is something that is still a ways off. With a price tag of $599.99, the D-Link V-Click is on par in terms of pricing when it comes to cell phones, but for a WiFi phone, it is uber-pricey. In general, this is an exciting step in the right direction, and if you are in the market for a cell phone that looks to make VoWiFi is easy, this is the device.
