PSP Console Can Make Phone Call?

Sometimes it's important to assert the dominance of homebrew features over Sony's lacklustre official firmwares.
Take the forthcoming PSP phone functionality. According to various rumours, Sony will shortly announce (in a few regions of the world) some new software to allow you to make and receive phone calls with your PSP via wifi, which may or may not be based upon the popular Skype platform.
That's nice, but there are a few flaws:
It's not yet clear how much it will cost to obtain the software, to subscribe to the service, and to make calls
It's not likely to be available in all countries
It's rumoured to only run on the PSP Slim - what about all those loyal early-adopters?
It will probably only support a limited subset of possible voice platforms - e.g. maybe just Skype, which is notoriously bad at interoperating with other networks
