some like the nokia e63 or n95 can run Skype, but only if you have a data package (like the package from 3). Grab a cheap(ish) Webcam, just stick to the named ones like creative, logitec. I have heard some good things about the Microsoft MSN webcams, but have never used with Skype.

would get the webcam, you will probably get use of it down the line for other things ;)

I have a phone running Windows Mobile with WiFi connectivity and a camera for video calls. I can use Skype via Wifi, saving expensive data costs, however, Mobile Skype doesn't make use of the camera.

As newzealandplease suggests get yourself a webcam. I've bought several Logitech webcams now (one for me, others for family and friends back in the UK) and they (with Skype) have been an excellent way of sharing a laugh over a beer or two with those on the wrong side of the Equator.

Oh... and good luck with the interview!

Hope this helps;
