Anyone using Skype?

Is anyone using Skype? What sort of equipment are you using? USB headset, phone, etc? I'd love to get something wireless like a bluetooth headset to use with it so I can walk around my apartment and talk. That would be cool.

My roommate just started to use skype yesterday. He is using a usb headset for logitech but it kinda sux becasue if he wants to use his speakers he has to unplug the headset. Make sure what you get has an off button.

Yep. Skype is pretty darned remarkable. Puts my cell phone all to shame ...

I got a USB Headset from Logitech and it works really well. I'm really impressed. 30 seconds into the conversation and you forget that you're not using a telephone. Actually with the headset instead of the telephone it's almost like they're in the same room as you.

I'm trying to figure out how to record the conversation. (Yes, the other person knows that I'm trying to tape our conversation.) It's a lot more difficult than you'd think.

My experience with Skype was sound quality was lacking (I use a Logitech USB headset also) so I use MSN messenger 7 and sound is excellent.
