I am very lucky because most of the places I go around were I live and work have WiFi. I do carry my cellphone in the event I must make an outgoing call from the car, etc.

Having such an abundance of WiFi spots where I am is a blessing. When I travel, airports and hotels (and restaurants) have the WiFi to use freely also.

Even places that have closed networks freely give me their keys so I can use my N800 when I am there simply for the asking. This happened again just last night when I was in a music store.

Regarding VoxOx....I was at their website just now. I could NOT find any place where they describe their rate structure. Just lots of marketing fluff about free this and that without clear specifics. What are the VoxOx rates? Also, if I open an account with them, where is the information to use the N800 SIP client (the server names, etc.)? VoxOx doesn't have this shown on their site. If VoxOX does not encourage customers to bring their on devices, this would not be unique in VOIP, but it would be a big turn-off. I do not want to be forced to only use their softphone. If what they are providing is simple SIP VOIP, and it is reasonably priced, it must be accessible by my N800 or I'm not interested.

Looks to me like Skype doesn't have to be worried about VoxOx at this time.

Cole made an excellent comment above when he pointed out Skype's impressive ability to get through firewalls and snake through Network Address Translators. Skype really does an excellent job of that.
