N80 INTERNET EDITION

Nokia - ShowPressRelease bout nokia's internet edition n80. my friend esme had one and i set it up to work with my internet connection. we tried lifeblogging using the home wifi access point (fon.com). esme already has her gizmo voip account set up and so i installed in on the phone. it was really easy from the catalogs application. we didnt have time to make a test of the voip, but every tech person i know is saying that it's better than skype. they say that skype is first generation technology and gizmo is second generation and supperior because it uses SIP servers instead of the system that skype uses. i am excited to try it. also the internet tablet 770 has google talk--interesting to try. if i had to make a choice i would rather not have millions of accounts floating around in my name on the internet. so if i had to choose between gizmo and google talk--which would you choose?
