just a heads up: (and make sure you read before you download and try, as you might be in for a large phone-bill surprise)

also. BE AWARE OF THIS:

* network traffic usage - depending on your buddy list network usage can be quite large - up to several megabytes per day even without actively chatting, this is important if you pay per megabyte. There is option automatically disconnect then Skype is in idle and it's switched on by default, feel free to switch it off if you have flat-free rate.

edit: skype rocks

What's the point of this, exactly? They say it won't do voip so it's just another text IM app that uses far more bandwidth than any other text IM app currently available. The only "brag" I see on the msmobiles site is that symbian phones don't have it and smartphones do. Big deal. Being on msmobiles, who knows if even that much is true or not. All sound and fury signifying nothing...next.

well... its my understanding that this is just a step. of course, the current processors in cells cant handle skype for voip, but that doesnt mean that future ones wont be able to, yes? to me, it would be a big deal if i could have unlimited internet (and thus, unlimited minutes through skype) one day for the price that im paying for unlimited net now

so it has to start somewhere.
