EpyxMobile, another way to make Skype calls from your cellphone

Epyx

When it comes down to it it's more or less the same dilly as IPDrum, just with Bluetooth added to the mix, but a company called Epyx Mobile is offering another way to make Skype calls from your cellphone. You have to own two cellphones, each with its own service contract, to get this to work, and basically what you do is pair one of the phones to your PC over Bluetooth and then connect it to Skype using Epyx Mobile's software. Then anytime you want to make a Skype call you're supposed to call the cellphone that's connected to your PC from your other phone and then use speed dial codes which you already assigned to people on your Skype contacts list (you already did that, right?) to ring up whomever it is you want to call (if you have SkypeOut already set up you can dial regular numbers). The basic version of the software is free, but how badly do you need/want to make Skype calls from your cellphone? Because if it's really that critical you should probably just get the Samsung i730 and load it up with Skype for Pocket PC and save yourself a ton of trouble.
