Does this mean we will be seeing a full version.....?
Better than not having any version. I am getting my phone today and Skype is very important part of it for me. I hope for the full version.

I do not think so... and I am not complaing for lack of Skype lite. Always you can use Fring. It's much, much better then Skype lite.
Skype was pulled from WM too. Something is up...
FRING ftw......
They may be doing something because of their huge promo with Verizon:
"Skype and Verizon Wireless are set to launch a new service, Skype mobile™ that enables customers to use Skype on a variety of best-selling Verizon Wireless BlackBerry® and Android™ 3G Smartphones."
Fring is ok for IM'ing, but skype out and calling over voip is very poor
Yeah, Fring for my Nokia N95 was phenomenal, but on Android the call quality sucked, bad, and it didn't support speakerphone on my N1.
I ended up switching to Nimbuzz when they added SkypeOut support in a recent update (a few weeks ago). The interface and Skype integration leaves something to be desired, but the call quality was an improvement over Fring-Android.

It's because of pour quality voice codec in Android, not because of Fring. I do not suppose, that new version of Skype would be better without new voice codec
No, fring is (at least was, havent tried in a while) really bad. Can't be Android's fault. I use sipdroid and this has excellent voice quality.
There's a news item in betanews to which I can't link to, it's about WM, but I think it's also relevant for android even though there's no mention of it.

i was ondering if there were any software that would allow 2exec' to estabilish a video chat session over wifi rather than paying for the 3G rates... also if there were a way to do the same with regular pc users too
thanks for any information
Not as yet even though the camera does have the facility to be integrated into applications, unfortunately no-one has yet!
Video calling is good though!
I sent an email to the MS Portrait team and they told me that this may be included in a future version if they can get the camera API.
I think it would be a killer app that will separate the Jasjar from all the others.

You are wrong. With PocketCaster www.comvu.com you can stream videos from both cameras via GPRS, UMTS, WiFi up to Comvu-Server.

Thanx, man! Bravo for the info!
That's amazing! I just downloaded and played a bit but I couldn't really play that much seeing as O2 only give me 1MB a month!! booooo
Dubrand,
Thanks for the info. However since I haven't yet seen this tool you are referring to, is this tool solely a video blog? In other words, from what you are saying, it cannot be used to do an interactive chat between two people on the fly (like in MSN Messenger on the PC) but only to save and upload a video clip on a server no?
Tks.
Thanks Dubrand! Looks like a fun little app/service. 8)
Thanks a lot!
It cannot be used to do an interactive chat between two people on the fly (YET). But i think this is a terrific proof of the concept that the build in camera can be used in (interactive) applications from third parties. An exciting promise for future use of the HTC Universal.
thanks for the info. i think this is a must have and when it is fully integrated into say msn messenger this will be my far the best device / gadget for years

i would really love to get the vga camera works on MSN messanger, the other day my web cam just died & i was desperately wanted to go live with my family, but i couldn't find a way to make it work.
it surely will be a big kicka**
So I have my lovely Tytn with it's front facing camera, and a microphone on the bottom... bit like a PC with a webcam and a mike. When I use my PC, I can have instant messenger chats with my friends using audio and video. Is there an app for WM5 which does this- typing is all very well and good, but when the hardware for sound and video is there, seems a shame not to use it.
Any ideas, anyone?
Oh yeah, and I have thought about the perenial (a) it takes too much bandwidth or (b) just get a video call enabled SIM. Bandwidth-wise, I used to conference call with video from my PC using a 56k modem, and as for (b), well I want to call people running MSN messenger on PCs, 'cos no one I know actually uses a 3G phone with video capabilities (apart from me!!).
Thanks all!
Cool Camera again...
Did you Try Cool Camera? Windows Live Messenger Mobile don't support the c front cam.
THE FIRST OFFICIAL APPLICATION THAT WILL SUPPORT THE FRONT CAMERA WILL BE SKYPE 2.5 FOR WINDOWS MOBILE AKU 3.5
Thanks! I'll give Cool Camera a go... hopefully it'll do what I want it to; I assume I won't be able to have a "full" video call (eg see the other person)?
are they? i mean its time tog et a working version for the touch?
I have Trinity which skype does not support either.
However I was able to found one early beta of Skype which worked perfectly on my device. Here is the link ... test it ... I bet it will work.

Use 'fring'. Connects to Skype, works great on my Touch!
Wow ... fring ... completely useless in my opinion.
What use do I have of something unable to use wifi ? (fring works only with GPRS/EDGE on my Trinity)

I am using Skype for Touch, and it's working. I was able to make calls to Singapore.
osavioro,
I have Dopod D810 running offical WM6 rom with Fring v3.20.23.118. It is working fine with Wifi. I wander why yours is not working.
I fring with google talk, msn, skype, they all work fine for me. The advantage of fring is that u do not have to install skype, messenger and other, just one application and one screen to work with multiple IM.
i know
yes search new version of skype at Google then i am sure you will get the latest versions information from there.
Ali.

I'm wondering too why it does not work ... it is searching for connection and do not find one.
Fring works like a charm over wifi on my WM5 Wizard (fring version 3.20.23.118). It should enable wifi on your phone by itself, but maybe try enabling it yourself and make sure it connects to a access point before launching fring?
It's also worth mentioning that fring is much more CPU-efficient. With Skype, i can talk only after overclocking my wizard to something around 260MHz. When i make skype call trough fring, it uses only about 60% CPU time without overclocking (@195MHz). So it is really good software, especially on slower devices.

I've done all mentioned above and there was no effect.
I will wait for more stable and eye-candy version of fring.
However my 400 MHz Trinity does not fear skype
P.S. BTW there is another small application -- OctroTalk -- which support several IMs and even Google Talk (unfortunately Skype is not supported).
If there are enthusiastic people in this thread ... test it please ... you can find it here: http://www.octro.com.
Hello everybody,
just got my brand new Touch 3G and am wondering if the VoIP-enabling CAB available here in these forums works on the Touch3G as well AND if it also breaks the GPS connection?
(see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299950&page=140 )
And which of the available WM6VoIP.CABs should I take? And is it using the internal speaker??
Anyone tried that already? I wonder if the SIP connection is good enough over HSDPA..
Thanks guys

Just installed it, but it uses the external speaker, as far as i have seen it....
voip
tried and even bought AGEphone software. it uses the internal speaker on jade and has much better quality than the windows mobile built-in SIP phone. really, WHY can't they just integrate a real sip phone in wm like e.g. all the nokia smartphones have..
download the trial here, for internal speaker go to settings and select "switch speaker"..

Thats only for WM5 or .... because I get the following file Fring_WM5.exe ?
I installed fring just by going towards download button on the site and downloaded a cab file.
But that doesn't seem to work as the application don't want to load on my phone.
Seems there are a lot of version, you even can select a version on phone brand.
I am confused which version i'll should use.

I´ve downloaded FRING directly from my 3G (the .cab) and has installed without any problem. The audio is now better, works very vey well with sip, messenger and skype ands it´s FREE. Works with internal speaker. I´v tried agget.com , works also with internal speaker, very good voice quality but too many´s dropouts. I´ve tried al the parametres, buffers etc and no way to have stable comunications. FRING does the job and works in roaming betwwen WIFI and 3G, and also works with lots o PIM´s at the same time,personaly i use 3, and instead of having skype, msn and voip software charged in memory i use only one.For me it´s the best solution with the LATEST WM Fring version

I had the same problem & I figured it out how to solve this.
First you have to uninstall FRING from your device then re-install it again on device memory NOT Storage Card.

I would to install fring as IM program, but I see that on official site, blackstone ins't on the supported devices list...maybe the one for diamond works fine on hd?
I used Tpro
Fring works with the normal release... for my person, I don't like it.
Give a try to BeejiveIM or Palringo.
Or Nimbuzz, the only one that supports Facebook chat AFAIK.
does nimbuzz available on windows mobile? good, thx
which the best in your opinion nimbuzz o palringo?
i use nimbuzz
I use Nimbuzz firs day ang work. But there are some problem sometimes. Somtemes stop-working, ...
Here is video Nimbuzz on Touch HD:

xperia version works great on mine
Fring recently released a new version supporting earphone speaker for voice calls, rather than external speaker, as well as file transfer and other updates to bring it in-line with the S60 release.
Works nicely. Cab available at http://www.fring.com/cab.
Nimbuzz looks great but is hella slow when scrolling on the HD.
Fring works wonderfully... still trying to figure out how to make free phone calls.
