If it’d be free (or /15th the industry price), considering that Skype could use IP to bounce signals…. I’m all for it!

Hmmm.. wonder if it’ll have tons of ads

How different would it be from the phones manufactured by Belkin and others? Would there be more “in-built” features so to speak?

I just heard about the phone. I wonder if it will take off…could create a wave of new Wi-Fi phones.
That’s really cool you get invited to all these announcement parties. I guess it pays to be a successful blogger!

@Gerry

lol didn’t know about the Download app on the phone – thanks for the headsup. Will scan through your posts in the week – thanks.

I’m getting my ‘skype’ goodie delivered to my work address on the day. I hope they still deliver it once they realise ‘Everton’ works for the ‘competition’!!

I can’t attend on Monday, too short notice and I’ve got something already planned.

For recommending applications for the N95 it depends what you do with it. Is there something you really need?

Personally these are the applications I have on my N73 at the moment, which should work okay on your N95:-

Google Mail v1.5
Google Maps v1.7
Coreplayer v1.1.2 (Plays any audio or video file)
Nokia Podcasting v1.00.3
LCG Jukebox v2.12 (Mostly use for Internet Radio)
Social FM Player (Think this is trial at the moment, but doesn’t state it in the app)
Nokia Team Suite v1.0
Nokia Conversation v1.0
Active Notes v1.0 (Great notes application)
Opera Mobile v8.65 (Much much better than the built-in browser)
Windows Live Messenger + Hotmail (Available via the Downloads! app on your N95)
LCG Slick v0.28 Beta (MSN/Yahoo/ICQ/AIM Messenger)
SIC! FTP (Connect to FTP Servers)
Sky Anytime v5.00 (Sky+ Remote Record)
Jaiku v0.80
Widsets v1.0
Skype for 3 (FREE Skype to Skype calls on 3 network)
Fring (MSN/Skype/Twitter messenger and MSN/Skype/SIP voip calling)
SplashID v3.33 (Store all your Usernames/Password securely)
Handy Calendar v1.0 (Better than the built in calendar)
Handy Converter v 1.01 (Currency converter)
Handy Blacklist v2.0 (Blocks incoming calls defined by yourself)
LivePVR v2.71 (Record all calls, voice recorder and meeting notes recorder)

I’ve got loads more, just depends what you want. Have a read through my blog I’ve given a better explanation for some of these.

Sounds like I got the same email, wasn’t to sure if it was genuine or not cos the email address wasn’t from @three.co.uk or @skype.com, but was interested in the we will send you the product.
You can buy Skype Wifi phones just now for under Â£80 and 3 mobiles now come with free skype to skype calling as part of the tariff, so what this combination is I’m not sure. If they are going to force you down a dataplan route (monthly subscription) I think it might fall flat on its face, but a cheap phone Â£50-Â£60 which can be used via Wifi, but be a PAYG 3 phone when Wifi not available would be a sure fire winner for the kiddies market. Might be the IT thing for Christmas.
We’ll just need to wait till Jack sends the itinerary or Monday for the product launch.

I think the data plan will be an unlimited one at a decent price, and then you pay for the Skype Out calls. For instance I could get unlimited VoIP with T-Mobile for Â£10/pm on TOP of my current plan, but I wouldn’t make enough calls to make it worthwhile.

I’ve never bothered trying a VoIP service on my N95 because my VoIP data isn’t free

Sweet… but.. you still need availability of internet connectivity, which means a data plan?

ive seen phones (like your n95) that already have built in VOIP on them.. have you tried that out yet everton?

free calls whenever you can get in wifi range… but i have no idea how that would work on a skype plan…
