I wonder if they plan to include a "Walkie-Talkie" type function in the future...

I use the headset and it works fine. If I don't have it on me I use headphones to listen and talk into the PPC mic. That works good too.

Is it just me, or does Skype still seem to be out on the "fringe" - it seems to work pretty well, but nobody seems to use it?

I mean - as far as handhelds go. I'll grant a lot of "regular" people think I just made up a word. But on a site devoted to Axims (many of which have wifi in them), a free app, and an option which partially supplants a cell phone (although admittedly on a limited basis) ... and there are 6 posts about the new version???

Doesn't anybody live in a large city where they're rolling out city-wide wifi, and they're considering dropping their cell phone?

Milwaukee approved city wide wifi a few weeks ago. Part of the city will be covered by summer and the entire city by next year. I live in the metro area but am just outside the city limits. If I get coverage at my home then I may consider it. I used to use my cell quite a bit but recently weaned myself off of it and now I switched to a pay as you go plan and use it only when I cant place the call at home. Skype would likely work out pretty well for me, but I dont think many people would be willing to make such comprimises. The even if you could accept the limited coverage, you also have limited connectivity. Also you would have to leave your wi-fi enabled at all times and pay another $60/yr to be able to receive calls. Even for me, I would prefer to stick with my cellphone where I pay $100 for 1000 minutes that are good for 1 yr.

the only problem is battery life. How long can the ppc last being connected to wifi and having skype open. Prob not too long

Question --
I want to use Skype with my X50v and a bluetooth headset to make calls. Are there any BT headsets that will work in this capacity?
