I live in Germany and my parents live in Ireland. I' m thinking about getting them a Skypephone. But only if the Skype voice quality is ok and the connection doesn't cut off regularly. I' ve had some bad experience with mobile phones and mobile internet in Ireland so I wanted to ask you opinion on how the Skypephone performs after trying it out for over a year now.

It’s a genuinely useful feature that doesn’t deprive 3 of any revenue." It would deprive them of call termination charges that all European networks charge other networks. Wondering if I can install Fring on my 6120. “The lack of SkypeIn support is a bit of a pain though. It’s a genuinely useful feature that doesn’t deprive 3 of any revenue.”

That's the skype phone they offer for 149 euro. Nice phone. Took a day or two to get comfortable with the differences from my old nokia brick. Skype calls are good however i was very disappointed to find that skype text chat did not work on it. As skype text is a central communication tool in work it was one of the main reasons for buying it. Seemingly it works on some handsets and is due on the sony soon. I got the sony ericson version.

Here (http://www.e-series.org/archives/242) it says that the software actually makes a standard local voice call, and it’s only at a central hub that the call gets routed over the Internet/Skype network. It makes sense, seeing as the Skype clone (IM+) that actually does a full Skype implementation has fairly major lag, due to the weedy CPUs in most smartphones.

Can you IM on the skype phone or is it just restricted to calls? If you can IM could you tell me what version of the skype mobile app you have? Cheers! Hi Damien.
