Nokia has been working on “The Gizmo Project“. The Gizmo project allows VoIP calls on the N80i phone (Internet edition) using SIP protocol - enabling two or more people to make phone calls to each other, using the Internet to carry the call.
Skype has also been working on mobile VOIP using 3’s X-Series in the UK; Skype came bundled with the Nokia N73 so users of that phone can Skype with each other.
The main difference is that with the Nokia N80i (Internet edition) and Gizmo - Nokia’s Gizmo has more coverage than Skype’s mobile VoIP solution.

Ash
