I've seen a dual SIM card being applied in a Symbian Nokia. It does require sufficient space in the phone's housing ("case"). Not sure N900 can, since I've not held the device. Second SIM needs to fit in just next to the original one. (And then you also need a small connector that looks like a piece from a computers motherboard.)

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 successfully made Gtalk, Skype and SIP calls over tethered 3G and edge on my N810 but as someone before said I wouldn't place a business call over that EDGE data connection as its prone to be choppy and unreliable.
What I really wish I could do is get the SideKick prepaid plan which is just a dollar a day for unlimited web and text and then you pay per minute for phone calls. That way when in wifi and 3G I could just use SIP and then if I needed to I could make regular phone calls.
I don't know of any hacks or heard about any so far to this.
