The full potential of wirelessly connected mobile phones will be reached in 2007. There you go Russell, that’s my wild prediction for the year ahead.

Having seen the exciting potential of the wireless broadband connected mobile, with the Nokia N80, and it’s exceptional web browsing experience, I am convinced we are only going to enjoy optimal ubiquitous connectivity once we are permanently on wi-fi and unshackled by the contraints of telco data charges.

I’ve also seen iMate and other super PDAs wirelessly connected and working with Skype. Great, but that’s not going to reach far beyond your business and tech savvy consumers.

I was, therefore, pleased to read about this new offering from Truphone. A service providing free and internet rate calls from your mobile.

Once again Nokia is the handset of choice for the application. It will be interesting to see if the service will reach beyond the symbian system, or if it just adds to the number of compelling reasons to go with a symbian smart phone.

If you’ve used the Truphone and have an opinion about it - good or bad - pleased leave a comment here for us to read.

Postscript: Take a look at an excellent article on Mobile 2.0 written by Rudy De Waele of m-trends.org where he discussed mobile voip.
