however, when i got it going, it performed very well.
The voice quality is a lot better than skype (at least via fring)

HOWEVER: keep in mine that as the phone is small, so is it's wifi antenna
(and there is spacial diversity), so and wifi reception is not so good (at
least when comparing to a laptop).
It is ok if you are in your office or home, but if you are traveling, it may
not work very well in all the rooms of the hotel or in every spot in the
cafe.

cheers,
