Verizon really locks things down. You can't even use the limited functionality outside of the US at all. I just bought the 9650 from Verizon and I am speaking from experience.
You can NOT make any use of wifi and Skype - it uses the Verizon network. You can use it to call Skype users at their PCs and also you can use your Skype credit to call overseas folks from the US. That is all.
Go to the Skype site and check out the mobile options. You would be better off with an iPhone I think. Each phone has its limitations but the iPhone looked the best.
