Official skype app out now. Doesn't let you make calls over 3g which is kinda useless.

Great news, have to give that a go later on. Would love to see some sort of integrated functionality whereby as soon as you're within range of your home wireless network, all calls are automatically routed through Skype.

As for Skype over 3G, there was no way the networks were going to allow that.

Hmmm we're gonna need an update. I keep getting booted out. Feature-wise I don't see any advantage that this has over Nimbuzz.

Epic fail as the fella says.

There's a 3rd party add on for jailbroken iPhones that apparently tricks official apps like iTunes to think that wifi is on when it isn't allowing you to bypass the 10meg download limit.

Maybe this will work for skype.

I stand corrected. Problem being of course that (and I'm only going on limited anecdotal evidence here) that's a shitty phone and a ballix network.

A more cynical fellow than myself would think they didn't really want people to use the VOIP functionality...

Totally addicted to Sramble Live. Phone is charging for the second time in 24 hours right now. Great game, even more fun that Live Poker. Check it out.

I have skype working over 3g. Needless to say you need a jailbroken iPhone.

I had finally justified getting an iPhone to myself when my mate tells me there's another upgrade coming in June.

BUT I WANT IT NOOOOOOOW!!!

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

The upgrade is probably worth waiting for. All rumours at the moment though.

Are you tempted Heavy Metal Documentary?

Ooh, hadn't heard that.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

The initial fee is kinda high but you can get it for 40 a month which includes unlimited o2/landline calls and 1gb data.

This was only recently introduced so i wouldn't bank on another reduction. Still who knows.

Nah, I'm happy with my touch. Phones are kept in pockets with keys and coins.

 

[Umfufu]

I'm still a bit worried that it's

A) very large for a phone
B) very small to be reading web pages on

but as the man said,
"I'd buy any shit as long as it's shiny & made by Apple".
