I tried out both Skype and Gizmo5 on my new n810 last night. Neither is able to send touch tones during a call - so no voice mail, Grand Central, etc. However Gizmo uses open protocols (XMPP and SIP) while Skype is completely proprietary. A few minutes with Google found 'Internet Communications Softwware Update 2' and I had my Gizmo account set up and working with the native Nokia client perfectly. Skype with its proprietary and closed protocols? Not so much.
The moral: in a connected world, open protocols and file formats are even more important than open source.
