Seems like no one other than a fella with a Mogul has Skype working through the earpeice.

Nimbuzz works ok for me but seems a little unstable, contacts are listed as online but are not actually and vice versa.
Skype is a big deal for me so I may be considering abandoning nimbuzz on my touch and going to a Pro if the latest version of skype works real well on it.
I was the original poster in that thread you referenced. I have also had problems with Skype...no matter what phone i used, and no matter what application (skype itself, fring, nimbuzz)...I have never gotten it to work through the earpiece on either a motoq, a mogul, a touch, or my new touch pro. The only thing i have found to make skype calls come through the earpeice is IM+ Skype. The reason it works is because it used Skype credit for all calls (even to another skype user) and it will use your cell phone service to connect the call. Its strange, and I didnt like it because I dont really want skype credits. I want to be able to talk to skype users for free.

So...the best I can come up with on my Pro is using either Skype itself with a headset, or Nimbuzz or Fring with a headset. All three work pretty well...even over RevA, and I have had clear conversations on all of them. The only thing is....you have to use a headset or your speaker.

If someone finds a way to use Skype through the earpiece without using Skype in/out credits, please PM me. I would be VERY interested.
