Mobile VoIP: Skype on the Nokia N95
Having used Skype for a few years, I love it.
However, I recently tried the Skype for Mobile beta on a Nokia phone and was stunned to find a product so unlike the desktop version.
Initiating a call, something that can only be done over WiFi, Skype forces the phone to conduct the call over the regular cellular network after which it complete the route over the internet.
Epic failure!
Who want to use a VoIP client on a WiFi enabled phone only to be forced to make a cellular call and get double billed?
Hopefully they come to their senses and achieve the comparatively minor technical achievement that Gizmo and TruPhone have as a standard feature.
