Well, I happen to have a bunch of friends which are not tech geeks, as well as my family members. They can follow instructions to use Skype without bothering me. Plus, I am using SkypeIn/SkypeOut plan. I don't have a cell phone. So I hope I can continue using it on my new handset. Probably I will wait for a while to purchase later version of Neo when I have time to hack it. Currently, to save time, I will choose N810, which has everything I need out of the box. <br>
<br>PS: If you wanna call a traditional telephone from a VoIP client, there must be a company providing the service to bridging Internet and telephony network, right? Do you have such open source solutions? I think the company need to pay money to telephony service operator. Who will pay it?<br>

</div>Most people don't want to run Skype, they just happen to run it because<br>
everyone they talk to through it uses it. They don't really care other<br>
than it makes calls cheap/free. Maybe they use Skype-in/out but from<br>
what I've seen, most don't. Personally, I prefer a "normal" VoIP (SIP)<br>
client, but I don't have a big group of Skype-using friends.<br>
