Will incoming calls to my Skype phone number appear on the desktop just like an incoming call would on a voice plan?

Will I have to perform an extra step in order to make calls that I wouldn’t otherwise?

If I leave 3G coverage and only have edge speeds will I get poor voice quality or lose multi-tasking capabilities? (ie. Internet browser?)

I realize that some of these question may not be answerable until the release of the N900 in October, but maybe some of you can share your experiences from using Skype on previous internet tablets.

Thank you for your help!
well the T-Mobile data plan is already 59.99 with 5GB cap.
39.99 you get 600 anytime minutes with free nights and weekends, add 19.99 unlimited TXT and Web brings it to 59.98.
look you are paying the same price but in latter you get txt and voice plan from carrier no need to worry about making calls or recieving calls when not in great coverage for 3G and if you want to save minutes use skype while on 3G and use your voice minutes just for emergency.
edit: if you get the plan 19.99 you get the web which is said to be unlimited but has a cap of 10GB which is still better than 5GB isnt it?
