Are you already signed up with Skype so you have a user name & password?

All you should have to do is install the mobile version of the software to your Pocket PC, activate a WIFI connection on the Pocket PC, login to Skype, run the Skype sound test and you should be set.

What's hanging you up?

Test username and password first on PC. Has this been done?

So got it installed and working however is there a way you can change the mic and headphone? I've got a BT headset hooked up and need to figure out how to use that instead.

Hi,

There are some posts on the Skype Windows Mobile forums about this (Bluetooth).

I had to use an app called "BTAudio" to get the audio routed to my BT headset on both a PDA and a smartphone/PDA (an 8525).

Skype says that this is not because of their app, but because of the way that Windows Mobile was configured by the manufacturers (apparently the switching works automatically on some specific phones).

My Skype works great but since I installed the IM+ instant messenger, the font is messed up. It displays little square boxes instead of the proper characters. I removed the IM+ and reinstalled Skype, same thing. Does anybody know how to fix that?
