The other bonus to this phone is that if you're in wifi coverage (like a USO) you will be able to use skype mobile to make "calls" instead of burning your GSM minutes.

Yes, I have Skype installed but there's one little hitch... that it doesn't use the ear piece... only the rear speakers (really annoying.) I ended up finding a solution that uses a program called "audio route" that routes the Skype audio to the earpiece so you can actually have a private conversation.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the Skype + AudioRoute combo... and plan to use it extensively on my travels.
If anyone wants AudioRoute I found it here:
