using a pdaphone such as nokia 9500 or hp 6365 for skypeing

I was wondering about connecting to the internet wirelessly and using skype
for international telephone calls on a pda phone such as the hp 6365 or the
nokia 9500.
Would it work? could one use the phones speakers and microphone. Would it
have enough memory etc any suggestions
thanks

It is possible on a PC (using Skype software and an appropriate headset), but
cellular latency is pretty bad, resulting in long pauses before you hear
responses from the other party. In a word, painful.
