Thanks for the link... except Skype wasn't being demoed at all, was it? The only time the guy initiated a call, he hung up before a connection was established.

No demo of call quality
No demo of video chat

The whole video had a "Windows 7 Launch Party" plastic spin to it.

Hopefully Skype on N900 is actually good! Anyone using it?

OK, it showed that the contact list integration is relatively seamless. That's good - but I still don't know whether it's icing on a cake, or polish on a turd!

Can you use Skype to call someone on a mobile phone number? If so would it be free if you are connected via wifi (and if not connected by wifi then free if within your phone operator's data plan)? He talked about it in the video but was not sure if the free part was referring to calling a mobile or if it was calling someone on skype.

i use skype and all calls are free. but i think it depends on your plan. check out skype.com for the details.

I found the google voice rates better than skype for the places I call most and cannot wait for the GV/Gizmo integration on N900 as the google talk is implemented.
