You can also call cell phone users but its going to cost you money.

i don't think tha landlines and mobile phone calling gives much of an advantage... remember, that you need to hav WiFi access and th Skype credit is pricey...

Since Skype functionality was scraped in Japan, you have to change your psp's region in recovery to get this to work.
And skype credit isn't that expensive. It's pretty useful if you are traveling internationally. All you need is internet and you can get in touch with anyone. 2.1 cents/min to America... great since I'm in Japan.

GPS does not give you wifi etc. anywhere.

I think I might go all out I have wifi at home and wifi at work, with as little as I use my cell phone skype would cost me under $60 a year, whereas I spend $45 a month on my cell

dreamer01 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 01, 2008, 05:21:35 PM »

oo i wanna buy credit too then!! WEEEE

kink192 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 02, 2008, 08:56:55 AM »

go to the skype website, its really not that expensive

Maximize · « **Reply #14 on:** February 02, 2008, 11:46:17 AM »

yeah you can start with $10 or the best deal is $3 a month which includes all calls to cell phones and landlines. go to the website and read up on it, it's a good deal anyway you look at it.

makes me want to put a mic in my slim coming next week

brentbizzle · « **Reply #17 on:** February 02, 2008, 06:32:54 PM »

Need a mic built in to one of the speaker ports... then you could hold the psp like a real phone... lol

kink192 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 02, 2008, 06:43:01 PM »

thats not a bad idea, but instead of replacing it make a hole just underneath it

not exactly, i have not gotten mine yet so I am not sure, I would not put it so close. It might pick up vibrations (or sound) from the speaker itself. but on my fat it is on the face about 3/8 - 1/2" up in between the screen and yellow power connector.

kink192 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 02, 2008, 07:54:47 PM »

good point i didnt think of that, well what about putting it on the back? this way you could use larger speakers and not have to worry about interferance

Maximize · « **Reply #21 on:** February 02, 2008, 09:16:18 PM »

yeah, prior to install I hooked it up to the standard (fat)port, while facing south not more than 1/2" from the left speaker it picked up alot of interferance, then I bent the wires so it was facing southwest, and all interferance was gone. So it doesn;t take much. internal mic and internal itrip is what i want for my slim

So who has used it so far, how is the sound quality, is video phone a feature (yet)?

kink192 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 04, 2008, 01:59:02 PM »

well theres a sound test, but other then that i havent used it. and whats really kool i guess is that the first call is free but the sound through the normal speakers is pretty good
