Here's something interesting for Verizon Wireless subscribers, soon you'll be able to fire up Skype Mobile and make a call right over 3G, now this is something long over due and I'm quite happy to see Verizon of all the other networks opening up to allow users to have a greater deal of freedom. I'd say hats off to Verizon but I don't wear hats sadly.
A joint press conference held by Skype and Verizon today at MWC, unveiled the most wanted feature of making none hacking VOIP calls over Verizon 3G network via Skype, this is good news as all one needs right now is unlimited 3G, a friend with Skype and making calls would be awesome again, no more checking the damn credit. Skype Mobile for Verizon will make its debut next month, but will not be readily available on every handset with the ability to support it, so far only the Motorola DROID, Motorola DROID Eris, BlackBerry 8530, BlackBerry 9530, BlackBerry 9550, and BlackBerry 9630 are the stated supported handsets, more should follow soon after.
Unfortunately for Google, HTC and T-Mobile the problems with the Nexus One's 3G connectivity haven't been completely solved by the last OTA update. In fact the word on the street is that a new ROM is about to be released and this one is expected to further improve the radio capabilities of the smartphone.
It's too early to call the Nexus One a flop for now but we were expecting the device to put up a better fight. Google managed to sell only about 80,000 units in the first month and the future doesn't seem to be brighter, at least for now.

Just yesterday we were talking about the joint press event which Skype and Verizon are going to hold at MWC 2010, and today we have more hot information for you. It looks like people in the business are talking about Skype phones coming from Verizon.
We shouldn't really expect Skype to actually make any handsets for Verizon, should we? What could happen is for Verizon to actually announces some interesting Skype plans for all its 3G-enabled smartphones and featurephones.

The folks over at T-Mobile seem really interested into dumping their current original myTouch 3G stock. And they're prepared to hack and slash prices for you but contracts are still required. The myTouch 3G Android-running handset made by HTC will be available for $99.99 with a 2-year new contract from T-Mo.
Starting tomorrow you'll be able to take advantage of the new price which is $50 cheaper than before. It's definitely a great price to pay for the phone but at the same time you could be a lot more interested in some of the upcoming Android devices as it looks like 2010 will have plenty of such smartphones to offer.

Just last week we told you how fring for iPhone has finally gotten VoIP calls over 3G and now we know that Skype is also going to offer the same service to iPhone owners soon. Not that we would expect anything different, would we?
After all Skype is the master of VoIP calling so it's only logical to see it offer full VoIP calling support to iPhones and iPod touches. And while you wait for Skype to brush up its iPhone app you can always make sure that you have an unlimited data plan and that most of your friends and family know your Skype ID.

It has been a while since we've last seen an iPhone OS update. Apple is probably working on the development of the upcoming iPhone OS 4.0 which could arrive this summer once the new next-gen iPhone gets released.
In the mean time Cupertino has released a brand new firmware update, version 3.1.3 which is now available for download. The new iPhone OS version will fit with all existing iPhones and iPod touches and will basically offer you some bug fixes and improvements. Here's basically what you can expect from iPhone OS 3.1.3:

For some weird reason Apple has decided to finally allow VoIP calls over 3G. And since the new iPhone SDK is out we can expect more and more VoIP apps to offer you 3G calls on Skype.
Fring for iPhone is such an application that will have you talking to your Skype friends in an instant even when you're using the 3G available connectivity. The only problem is, of course, AT&T's network. In some metropolitan areas you might not enjoy your VoIP experience over 3G, but at least the feature is available now.

Although it's definitely one of the best Android phones out there the Google Nexus One failed to become a hit handset yet. The phone's image has been utterly destroyed by its inability to properly function in a 3G network.
The Nexus One's 3G issues have been spotted a long time ago and they were not fixed yet. People were waiting for a faster response from Google and HTC, the makers of the handset, and from T-Mobile, the official carrier.
