JiWire's quick take

Likes
Make Skype calls right out of the box without a computer, use existing Skype account or create one from phone, supports all important Skype features, voice quality just as good as PC-based calls, miniUSB charger can be powered by laptops.

Dislikes
Can't use at hotspots requiring logins, voice quality/latency not as good as landlines or good cell service, short battery life, no 911 support.

Good for
Heavy Skype users who want the convenience of direct Skype dialing at home and at the office.

Bad for
Road warriors who need paid hotspot access or those who need cell-phone-type coverage.
