Skype For iPhone - First Impressions
As expected the official Skype for iPhone app just made an appearance in the App Store.
As a huge Skype user I'm pretty excited to give it a try. If you do let us know what you think.
UPDATE:
I thought I would give a quick update after actually downloading the app... What a disappointment!
The app loaded beautifully. It looked great. It gave that familiar Skype login sound. It showed me my contacts. I was psyched!!!!!!
Then... I..... tried... to... make.... a... call..and... it...sounded... like...this.... sentence.... looks... choppy... as...hell.
Seriously, I called my office and got the answering machine and it was all impossible to understand. SERIOUSLY it was unusable.
I thought it might be my WiFi connection until...
I called my office from Trufone. Not only did Truphone connect is less than half the time but the sound was PERFECT. I then tried Skype again and found it to be just as choppy. Truphone again... perfect. Skype again.. choppy. Truphone again... perfect.
I love Skype but I think I may be dropping my Skype Unlimited plan and going for Truphone's plan instead.

I heard Skype doesnt work well on jailbroken iphones unless you update mobile substrate, if you haven't jailbroken then I have no clue.
No worse than a normal iPhone voice call.
I'm at home using my own broadband in the UK if that makes a difference
Interesting. I tried both again this morning with exactly the same result.
