It's a 14MB memory hog, and doesn't support App2SD yet. Hope it will in future.

Guys, at first I couldn't find it on the Android Market.

But lucky thing one of my friends managed to download it and backup to apk.
So I have managed to install it and login to it.

Below are my findings:

Pros
Voice Calls over 3G WORKS!!! Very clear (depends on your 3G speed).


Cons
Drain battery life a lot while my phone was idle. I purposely left my phone on my desk for 4 hours without using it at all.

I noticed it was warm despite lying idle for 4 hours. So I unlocked the screen and check the phone status to see how much battery left. After 4 hours, it drained 40% from my phone that was lying idle doing nothing.

Usually, my phone only drains 10% overnight when I sleep (6 to 7 hours).

Also I noticed that Skype was running active as a background service and trying to kill the task and also stopping the background service didn't help as it would come back on again.

And also eat up my N1 memory a LOT. Dont like to uninstall other apps to free up memory since all my installed apps are very usefull.
