I think it's YMMV - I don't see the phone at all in the two stores around me in Ohio. I only see it on the AZ store that you mentioned.

What brand is this phone?

It says 2.4Ghz but it also says Bluetooth. I'm confused. Plus why would you want a phone that works on bluetooth anyways? I would think the 30ft range would make it pointless unless you live in a studio apartment.

It's a Sylvania phone.

bluetooth is probably for headsets and syncing to a PC

Can this phone be used with services, like skype?

Yeah, they don't have it in my local ad either. Damn, I needed a new phone too.

copied from elsewhere:

I bought this phone last week (I mentioned it in the Big Lots photo viewer thread but was completely ignored). It's a great 2.4 Ghz Phone. But forget about the Bluetooth aspect. Although the box refers to being able to buy a bluetooth headset from Sylvania, it does *not* work with bluetooth headsets. There is no way to make it work. There are no settings in the phone itself to make it discover a bluetooth headset. It seems like it was a feature they were going to add later from a firmware update or something. But the feature is not mentioned anywhere in the manual.

The only bluetooth feature is its ability to network computers together with another bluetooth phone. So you would need to buy two bluetooth phones, hook one up to each computer via the USB, then you could network them together. *yawn*

I tried to also use the MIDI Ringtone feature. I could not get any MIDI's to work with it. This process (as well as the Outlook Syncing of Addressbook) is done through the USB Connection, not through Bluetooth.

So like I said, think of it as a really nice looking $29 2.4Ghz phone. But the bluetooth "feature" sucks.

bluetooth runs on the 2.4ghz frequency, as does 802.11 wifi , as do many cordless phones unrelated to either technology.
