Be aware, unless you have an Apple gayPhone, you haven't got unlimited data, so it may not be 'free' ;)

yes.

Also, Skype on mobile networks isn't that great often - VoIP cannot deal with high latency

Skype is great for videocalls over the internet but only if you have a fast connection. It's defitely better than Live messenger and yahoo messenger, but it needs a faster connection.
My girlfriend lives abroad and we use these things to keep in touch every day. Her upload speed is quite low so we found out that afer several atempts the Live messenger is definitely better in this situation.
BUT my brother lives in France and has a good connection so with him I use Skype. The quality of the sound and video transfer is quite impressive

i use skype on Windows mobile, its better than the iPhone version as it allows calls to go over 3G/GPRS were as its only WiFi on the iPhone

Its usefull for IM on the phone too as well as calls, you get the standard latancy problems with calls and can cut out, but considering skype to skype is free it aint half bad.
