Skype-Ready Phones From Motorola

Hack Jandy writes "Seamlessly integrating VoIP and GSM might not be a fantasy after all, as Motorola announced their decision to build cell phones and handsets that have Skype Internet Telephony integrated into the devices. Obviously, one could use Skype for outgoing calls near wi-fi hotspots (essentially free) but default on GSM for outgoing calls in areas that lack coverage."

skype eh?

I've been using skype for quite a while now, and even though it looks pretty cool, and the phones you can get are slick, until they support incoming calls with it, I can't really see it taking off.

I know it's just supposed to be a replacement for long distance charges, but come on people, start becoming full-on VOIP!

Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe you can get incoming (not skype-to-skype, an actual phone number) calls.
