I use SkypeIn on my N800. Here's the current situation:


the N800 is designed to be "always on/always connected"

The big problem I have with the current implementation of Skype is that it seems to use the microphone built into the unit, even when I plug in the supplied headset. Effectively, that means I can't throw it in a pocket.
Skype also has three audio settings: A) Play sound only when Skype is the active task B) Play sound at all times C) never play sound.

B) means the ITT makes noises whenever someone on your contact list connects. C) Means you never hear calls.

Now, OS2008 is coming, and they promise a new, improved Skype. If you're looking to buy a N800 for SkypeIn, I suggest one of two things:

1. You buy it, 'cos it's cool. If 2008 makes it a skypeIn vehicle (or, hey, the Gizmo project could come through), even better.
2. You wait a week or two and find our what OS2008 brings.
