    When traveling out of state, there have been "dead zones" even for my Verizon carrier. When that happens, I find a WiFi access point (usually my motel for the night) and am able to call any landline or cell phone number. Of course, I will get charged a few cents per minute, but I am at least able to stay in touch with family and friends. It is totally free if I call another computer.

    Have you really started a thread to tell us about Skype?

    There has to be at least one person on this forum that is buying an N900 and knows very little about Skype. This thread is for him / her.

    Skype is REALLY going to rock once we can use the front cam for video conferencing...unless I'm totally mistaken and we already can (thought I read it's not available yet though).

    Sorry! I guess I'll go back to the N810 / N800 section where I belong!

    Oh dear. I think you'll find that was about the most gentle form of piss-taking ( Uk here! ) you'll ever find on the internet. Take a joke mate.

    If you know something doesnot mean that everybody knows it,
    I am sure that you have read somewhere in this forum about something new that you had no idea of.
    if you do not like or doesnot interest you why are you even posting in this thread?

    I must say I have heard of Skype an know how to make a PC -> PC call.
    But do you have to have a Skype account to use it for PC -> normal phone/mobile?
    (I know I probably could go to the skype homepage and search alot... but now that this thread is here...) :-)
