Default Anyone using Bold with Skype out?

Just wondering how well it works, I was planning on using the headset to perform skype out calls via when I'm around a Wifi area. Or another question is if anyone is using this does it perform well using 3G?

Thanks,

I would also be interested in anyone's experiences when using their Bold with Skype, both to make & receive calls.

Apparently 3 is launching Blackberry Bold with Skype, so must be compatible in some form

My understanding is that Skype client should work well over Wi-Fi but is a complete disaster over 3G. I would be very interested in hearing comments from someone who has actually used Skype on the Bold.
On the same note, will the AT&T version of the Bold also have Skype? I've been very disappointed with the number of services AT&T blocks out on Blackberry devices, I hope they don't ding us on this as well. This will be a really useful feature to have.
