great idea... not perfect yet!

Pros: I love the idea of being able to call my girlfriends to chat via the PC conference call functionality and basically not pay a penny for long distance calls (except for my internet connection of course). Therefore, i tried out the cell phone version of skype.

In short, it is easy to use (maybe for me since I use the PC version a lot), but sometimes the quality of the call was not great and the fact that I have do move around on the phone makes it a bit more cumbersome.

But over all, it is definately worth it., what do you have to loose.

Cons: As for negatives, what people should be aware about is that these arent just "free" calls. The connection is made via your data transfer part of your contract. So if you have unlimited then it is ok, but if you pay per data transfer, it might add up. Honestly, i have not received my bill to know how much data I have used up using Skype on my cell phone, but i have been careful not to use it too much.

Anyway, this is more of a heads up than a negative.
