Too bad we still can't get Skype from the Canadian iTunes Store - I have contacted Skype and they tell me it that Apple will not release if for Canada????
Loads fine for me, although a call mysteriously dropped half way through once.
The biggest issue is that there's no way to pass audio through to a Bluetooth headset. Or speaker phone, for that matter. Sort of annoying but by no means a deal breaker. I'm still really happy to see this out!
Ok I have to add: even though i load all the updates for skype since I have it and synched the iphone in the meantime a lot, skype on my iphone still was at 1.0.1. So to get things going I deleted skype in iTunes, downloaded it again and synched the new version to the iphone. And now things are as they should be: skype is working again.

Is the technology that different from a normal phone call?

I miss not having a camera like on the MacBook but for international calls Skype to Skype anywhere on the iPhone, I can't complain.

so sad, i rely on this.
restoring to 3.0.1 software isn't possible either, restoring firmware results in an error.
so please update skype again to be able to call landlines over WLAN
