Skype for webOS 2.0 gets the hands-on treatment
This is yet another one of those good news/bad news scenarios, unfortunately. Yes, Skype is coming to webOS. But it's apparently only coming to Verizon and only allows Skype-to-Skype and International calls via 3G or Wi-Fi. Domestic calls will be handled like regular calls and chew up your airtime.

Really enjoy all the webOS love Download Squad dishes out. Good stuff.
I'm in the same boat as you, I only have a data plan and I'm on Sprint. Hoping like hell the homebrew guys can reverse engineer the Skype stuff to put it on all phones. Perhaps a custom webOS Doctor will be the solution?

It seems like if the hardware supports it, Preware will be able to get it installed, but we'll see.
I am all webOS until something really changes, I like a smaller phone and I love free tethering and screwing around with the command line. So I'm running an overclocked Sprint Pixi with the original plastic screen cover and it's my favorite phone I've ever used.

I have an HD2 that I put android on running the Skype program. I use it as a wifi phone and it works out pretty well for me. I use google voice for text messaging. Of course its annoying to be tethered but its a way for me to have cheap ass portable phone service.
