Hello, I am strongly considering buying a motorola from boost, tethering it with bluetooth and using opera mobile to connect myself to the internet for free....BUT I was wondering if the dial up iDEN network could hold up a VOIP program like Gizmo or Skype. Is the bandwidth transfer too slow?

To slow, @ about 15k (avg.) you are not going to do much surfing either unless you stick to WAP or Mobile format pages.
