I simply bought $10 worth of SkypeOut credit and it works for me.

Another thing to note is that this new version of Skype seems to work like the phone application itself (low volume in your ear), rather than always using speakerphone. That alone is a very nice improvement.

Are you sure about that? I just tried and it used the speakerphone speaker.

If I have skype out min's ($10 worth) and use my TP to call a landline in Peru (after 7pm=unlimited calling), will Sprint charge me any connection fees or any money, since I'm using my cellphone line?
What if i call from my cell phone during peak hours to a landline overseas, I'm only eating up mins from my plan?, i assume...
If anyone knows something about this, please let me know.

It only uses data on your sprint line.

For installing 2.2 on my Diamond, the magic combo was this:

Download PocketPC version, NOT Smartphone version
Download using PC/activesync connection, not the cab to the phone
Install to Device, not to Internal Storage

I was only able to get it to go through loudspeaker. But I heard that with Nimbuzz, it would work through the regular speaker -- www.nimbuzz.com

So if I got this right......

You can make calls from your cell phone (using skype) to any house phone/cell phone and you will never EVER use up any minutes from your current cell phone plan? Only data?

Also, I have used skype to make video calls from one PC to another. Could I call a PC from my cell phone? It would be cool if, even though they couldn't see you, you could see them on your phone through streaming from their webcam as they talked to you on your cell's speakerphone. Is that possible?

I tried, and couldn't get that to work.

and can't beat free, I do not recall the last time I made a land line long distance call or used a calling card, that is retard I believe...

If you make a lot of international calls you should try Rebtel, you can use your mobile phone and dial regularly instead of using skype with microphones and all that jazz. I've been using Rebtel for a while now without any issues.
