green_amberSays buy this Skype phone.
My contract is up in Oct and I was planning on getting the N95 new version or if they'd let me, the N96. (No I don't want an iPhone - don't like the keyboard.)
But in some ways this is a brilliantly lateral idea. I travel a lot and get intermittent huge mobile phone bills. And could use this as modem to laptop ior Ipod touch when on trains, which is likely to be rather a lot in next year.
Anyone any experience of this? yes I could just use Skype from laptop - but in practice when abroad I mostly like ringing people for company when out alone at cafes, restaurants and bars.
How easy is to move SIM cards in and out of different handsets these days? I haven' tried it since the days I had my Orange SPV whose chip would NOT work in any non Orange hadset..
