Yeah, I work for Lufthansa and have to commute between the United States and Germany a lot. Skype is very useful for me. It's saved me hundreds of dollars in the six or seven months that it's been out.

Just tried skype for the first time today(sence I don't travel and am happy with my cell). I called my home pc from the n800 and it was awsome. It gave my voice that god-like omnipresent ecco effect that was probably caused by my connection, but the sound quality was amazing and I'm now seriously considering just using skype, when my cell contract runs out as I am most generally in the reach of wireless(and my cell is basiclly just a walkie talkie between my wife and I). Happy skyping!

While traveling in Asia this past November I used my N800 & Skype to call land line and cell phone numbers in the USA using SkypeOut minutes I had purchased prior to my trip. I made calls from the airports in Bangkok, Hong Kong and Tokyo using Skype through the free wifi service in each airport. The N800 & Skype worked well in all three locations. Others in our traveling group were quite surprised & pleased to be able to call their families while so far from home, and this made the N800 & Skype a big hit with our group.

I've been using skype nor for about 2 years, and when I got my N800 back in October I realized skype was an option on there as well.

I paid $30 for Skype pro that lasts 12 months.

I live in Canada and have used my Nokia Sype in the USA, Mexico, the Dominican and Europe so far.

I can call anyone and they can call me, pending I'm in a wifi location which is almost everywhere now a days.

I actually just got back from a Caribbean cruise where there was wifi on the boat. Free calls from in the middle of the ocean!

I haven't had a single issue with skype on my N800.

I ditched my cell and bought the N800 to use with Skype as my "cell" phone. I have Skype pro (unlimited out) and Skype-in (so people can call me using a phone number) and it works well, as long as I have wifi. I don't regret getting rid of my cell; it was way too expensive.

Since I use ITs (first a 770, then a N800), I have travelled to New Zealand, Singapore, China and Turkey. Each time I have been able to use first Gizmo then Skype to call back home. Very convenient.

I know we are all tech freaks, but I am still just amazed as I stood on the beach in Costa Rica and talked on myN800 to Chicago and it was crystal clear!
