Well, in some ways it's pretty accessible, or seems that it will be once it's working. I'll be able to use it to make Skype Out calls or I can use it with speed dials I've set up with Skype. Much of it is menu driven, so I can't, for example, associate a particular ring tone with a particular caller, but that's ok; not perfect, but ok. (smile)
