Anyone using the Skype iPhone app? I'm trying it out for the first time and very impressed with it's outgoing call abilities. But, I've run into a problem that might be a deal breaker.

While on a Skype call, if I receive a regular incoming cellular call, the Skype call is immediately dropped and the Skype app closes. Any way to prevent this from happening? Obviously, having your current call automatically dropped anytime someone dials your cellular number is unacceptable. Is there a setting that I'm missing?

Short of telling people to stop calling you on the "regular" cell number, you could simply forward that number to your Skype number.
