I paid $30 for the unlimited year, and I also have a Vonage account. I find that Skype is markedly worse in sound quality, and calls drop out more often than on Vonage. Unfortunately! I'd like to drop my Vonage account.

I've always liked Skype for it's portability. It was great working from customer sites for really long conference calls where I just didn't want to be in yet another war room for 16 hours. I could just walk around with my laptop and a USB headset on. Haven't tried any long calls on my N800 though...

Anyway, not sure where to turn now. Anyone have a similar issue/resolution?
I was hoping to get six months of calling, though...

Just dug my card out of the box. No visible expiration date (phew!).
So for you guys who ordered from Amazon and didn't have a Skype voucher, was the Nokia hologram sticker/seal on the box intact when you received your units? It's a conspiracy theory of foul play, but eh, if it peeves you that much... :P

Mine was also from Amazon and was definitely sealed.

Just wanted to throw my two cents in, just bought one from Amazon as well, and it had the sticker on it and no card in the box, I even took all the panels apart and everything. It was sealed when I received it as well.
I wrote to Nokia and they say they have no promo going on with Skype, and that I should contact Amazon, which seems insane to me as the box was sealed. I have no idea who puts the sticker on the box though.

When I got my N800 on Christmas Eve from Amazon, it came with the Skype 3 Month voucher. After activation, I received an e-mail from Skype that my voucher was for one year, a most pleasant surprise. Food for thought, I guess.
