Why can't this problem with Skype and Windows Mobile 6.1 be resolved...who should we contact Skype or Windows Mobile.

I've been reading the Skype.com forum and Skype apparently is well aware of the problem but has not released a version that works with wm6.1. I guess all we can do is look to alternatives. I've managed to screw up the build 19209 kitchen on my computer and can't replicate how I had it working, especially since I've flashed to the 20226 build on my vogue.

Skype is not officially supported on WM 6.0, so it seems the folks at Skype are certainly not making Skype Mobile a priority.

I have tried Fring and Nimbuzz and neither worked very well for me. I will check out IM+ today.

I downloaded IM+ For Skype 2.0.

It does actually work for voice calls. However, the way it works defeats the purpose of using it on a mobile phone.

If I make a skype call (skype-out or skype-to-skype), it will dial the person just fine. Then it puts them on hold, and makes a conference call to your cellphones number. So basically you are using your cellphone minutes to call a skype contact.

So far I have tried IM+, Fring (no sound), and Nimbuzz (I can hear sound on my cell, but the other party cannot hear me).

No joy in getting Skype calls to work on my Vogue.

Update to IM+....it not only uses your cell minutes but if you make a skype-out call, it also uses your skype minutes. Double-ding FTL

Good news and bad news. Skype officially released a 6.1 compatible update on their website. The bad news it doesn't work with the touch. ie no sound either way.

Owell back to the drawing board...
