http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2006/08/usrskypeminiphone.jpg (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?ContentId=6552)USRobotics (http://engadget.com/search/?q=usrobotics) has just released two new Nokia-esque Skype (http://engadget.com/search/?q=skype)-certified handsets for the Internet telephony lover on a budget, with the USR9601 USB Internet Phone retailing for just $50, and the USR9602 USB Internet Mini Phone (pictured) going for a mere $25. Both models feature a numeric keypad (duh) for speed dialing your Skype contacts or utilizing the SkypeOut feature if that's your thing, with the 9601 also sporting a back-lit LCD for call status and the all-important Skype caller ID. Also part of the package is some whiz-bang technology that promises to cancel out the echoing and tunnel effect that apparently plague lower-quality handsets; we're not quite sure what they're referring to, though, as every VoIP call we've ever made has been crystal clear and of the highest possible sound quality.
