Unfortunately it is not what it's cracked up to be. I takes ages to load the contacts list from Skype, disconnects out of the blue and seems to use a lot of RAM; at least on my Nokia E61. I had similar experiences with others like iSkoot or the Skype application provided by Three (which is just a re-branded iSkoot calling out via Threes network.) Don't get me wrong, it is great that Fring and iSkoot are putting a lot of effort and development in this (and I love Three for their X-Series) but I still find myself looking for an efficient and responsive IM/Voice service which tightly integrates into my phones contact list.
