Likes
Make and receive Skype calls without a computer, supports most Skype features, voice quality even better than some cell service, intuitive interface, very good Wi-Fi range, miniUSB charger can be powered by laptops.
Dislikes
No web browser for hotspot logins, no way to lock keyboard, poor battery life, can't initiate conference calls, no Skype text messaging, no 911 support, no WPA2 or 802.11x support.
Good for
Skype In/Out users who want the freedom of direct Skype dialing at home or office without a computer.
Bad for
Road warriors who use paid hotspots or those who need wide-area cell-phone-type coverage will be better off using the Skype client with a Windows Mobile phone.
