Sweet... Now we just need 3 in other countries to distribut it .... I am on Hi3G (3) in Denmark... selecting "Skype" on Planet 3 just tells me that "3 no longer provides skype"..... Bleh!!!
Tried skype through Fring but the sound Quality was Horrible ....
Will this also work via wifi if you are not one of 3's customers?
Like the poster above, I have found the skype call quality on Fring and Nimbuzz to be less than impressive

I'm afraid not. If you want to use Skype over wifi you'll have to use another client.

Added to the original post. =]
using direct link , just says the phone is not compatible with skype visit your nearest 3Store and buy compatable mobile !!
which strange since I bought the Desire from 3Store UK 2 weeks ago ....
Edit
just reset settings for the Browser and now it will download Skype OK !
Id love the .apk to test it on different 3 networks
Would you mind posting the apk?
The link says my phone isn't compatible for some reason
When you start up the app does it ask you to select your 3 provider (eg 3 UK, 3 Australia etc)?
If it does I would also love the apk to test it out on 3 Australia
I'll pop it up later. Any suggestions to where I can upload it to?

Hey Everyone. This is my first time starting a new thread, but a recent release got me interested.
Yesterday, Skype released Skype Mobile for Android. Yee Haw, right?
Wrong. It's only for Verizon. My personal opinion, that's dumb.
I've got a Sprint HTC Hero, and I would *LOVE* to have Skype on it.
Is there anyone out there who's freaking awesome and is planning on developing a work-around for the Verizon-only bit?
If so, I beg you, PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED!
Thanks in advance!
I remember having an official Skype program on my phone shortly after I got it. It was chat only, though. Now I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm guessing that they check which carrier you are on and block it to any carrier that doesn't want it used on their network. I'm guessing Sprint would lose out on their international plans if Skype Mobile with VOIP was allowed.

I can call any place the world from this Skype app on my phone to PC!!! It dials a local # and then connects to the user on computer just fine!
Hi I'm not as knowledgeable. How do you download the app to
HTML:
phone and install it? Also, what are the chances that it will run on n1 on T-Mobile network? Thanks in advance.
You are the best @heroid007 !!
I have the software, but I think it is totally different from windows mobile. I think we are being charge locally when we make calls unlike winmo.

would changing your ROM/build allow you to use the Verizon version of skype to make call?
your saying they block apps based on phone carrier, is that determined by the pre-loaded ROM/ just a code that the market reads to determine the apps that are shown or is it a hardware thing?
i was reading that new build had access to all app.
sorry im still new to the ROM thing.

It use 100pr of cpu, that's not good. (HTC DESIRE)
maybe is other solution for skype?
something odd that i've noticed is withthe 2.2 market skype doesn't even appear, but on a 2.1 rom it does.
Search Google for ( "index of" com.skype.android.lite.apk ) it works on other carrier phones and can run on WiFi (vzw dont). Would upload but not anywhere near home.

works perfect on my samsung galaxy s *vibrant*
This is not the version that's on android market! It will only work on the 3Uk network! Not officially available from 3. Works on desire, nexus & so on...
pisses me off that Skype has become provider specific!
Thank you very much, this is the app that i'm waiting for.
i guess it was to be expected since it is for "3", but i tried it anyway...
it tells me to disable wifi then can't connect to my account *shrug*
Is this actually *real* Skype, i.e. voice over IP, or is it still that cobblers that still uses the voice network and calls a telephone number?
I can confirm that it does not work for 3 Ireland.
I know you said it wouldn't.

Hello guys,
Ive just installed Fring as I am hoping to be able to get the video phone working.
Has anyone had success?
Can to SGS users WITHOUT fring video call one another? Any one done that?

Does your network plan support video call?

Network plan?
I assumed it was a DATA video call, ala skype or iphone's facetime, which are purely data transfers...
Surely the video call on SGS is not the (now completely out dated) traditional video phone call that was so unpopular years ago... so unpopular that mobile phone companies removed their front facing cameras?

You'll use fring, but fring does not work on the .GS right now. They are working on it.

It would be good if skype did something directly for android... and then there is that alpha version of adobe I saw on engadget a month or so ago.

Skype with video support is coming out for Android in the fall. If all you want is audio you can find an APK by googling around.

I really hope so, I'd prefer to use Skype than Fring, contacts-wise and also I was very unimpressed by Fring connectivity in the past and even less so by their handling of their "bandwidth issue" with Skype.

The inital 1st post states:
"Download it on marketplace. Everything works again"
Which i would assume is WM not android also as you can see by my other post 1.4 is avaliable now in the marketplace but not in the UK catalog.
I do agree the Android Facebook is better but whats wrong with wanting to try the new version for WM?

The screen shots of the 1.4 (U.S) looks different to our (UK) "1.2" version hence why i would like to have a look. Does your "1.3" (FR) look the same as U.S?
This is a real pain, why does it seem, US, France even outer mongolia have the update except the bloomin UK...
There is an update, although to 1.3 - it does at least work again though

I take it you don't have your market palce set to "United Kingdom - English". Because myself and a colleague only seem to be able to obtain "1.2" from market. Could you confirm for me please Nick.

man, is that so hard to see that there is a service always running on background? the purpose of Stop Skype is to stop all background processes, nothing more, nothing less...or you can force close the application, but it's not so handy.
