 		 #184004 - That's different ... it doesn't work on the cellular network
Responding to: ???'s previous message
At least I've heard no claims for that. You always have to provide a ready internet connection, and to handle voice, it would have to have quite a bit of bandwidth not always provided by cellular service providers. Sure, they give you high bandwidth, but only 1% of the time. It's adequate for www and email, but not for voice.

I've seen skype at work, and it's adequate on a typical DSL or cable service.
