As far as Skype not working, what ROM are you using? I found it doesn't work on the newest roms, but it does on slightly older ones. I had to revert to no2chem's 5060 release (but I am using the newest radio and things seem to work fine).
Other than that, it works great (well as great as limited ram will let it). 6.1 is not the issue.
And I agree on Slick. For me it was the most trouble free of the all-in-one messenger apps.
