Video Phone from 2005 is AWESOME! OJO Shadow.
As a lot of you know I have a baby and I have a full time job. So I do not get to spend as much time with her as I would like to. I have tried setting up Skype Video so that we can see each other.The Tablet that HP hooked me up with also has a built in camera and microphone. But alas little Kayla just want to mash the keyboard… Could it be because of baby Smash? Probably!
So the computer video phone was out of the question, I took a look at stand alone Skype phones like this one but they were too rich for my blood. Then I found something called the OJO Video Phone created by Motorola way back in 2005. They have shown these things on shows like 24 but I never knew what they were.
They used to cost $400 and $20 a month. Now you can find them on eBay for ~$150 and the service is $10 a month.
EDIT I FOUND IT NEW FOR CHEAPER HERE $130:
It is what it says it is – a stand alone video phone that works over broadband. Now i can see my baby whenever I want… She loves it!

I went to Amazon and one of the negative comments on this phone is you cannot use the phone without the service and WorldGate is out of business.
Can you elaborate how you use the phone? Can this phone be used with Cisco Call Manager or a freeware SIP PBX?
Let us know!

Yes this device is used with a $10/month service. The company WorldGate was bought out by another company. If you can figure out how to switch the server you can use it with any service but i am happy using it with their service it has brought me so much closer to my family I love it ( I am open to peoples ideas on how to get it for free though!!)
