Was wondering If anyone has been able to use skype on your unit yet?

Just had a go this morning. Skype with a Jabra BT250 bluetooth headset works! Very cool :)

It's not as good as PC to PC but seems to work well enough.....

There is a test robot you can call - echo123. I tried it and was surprised at how easy it was to make a call.

I also tried to call you, aximfrog, but it said you weren't online. I did a search thru the directory and searched on "axim" and you were the only hit. Maybe I'll try you again at some point.

Just loaded up Skype (into the built-in storage). Now to try some test calls...

where to get the skype for x50v?

skype.com - look for the Pocket PC link

I tried it and its great! The only thing is for conference calls with like 3 other people, the ppc version cant invite. Otherwise its excellent sound quality. I had to use my head phones though.

Perhaps someone can recommend a good head set that is good and clips onto the ear,,,, and also cheap.

If I leave my Skype running and the PPC powers itself down, when I turn it on again I get "Cannot execute \Program Files\Skype for Pocket PC 1.0\Skype.exe" error.

Anybody else get that?

That might be why there's the option of "prevent device standby mode when on-line"... Just a guess.

I did this several times, but i did not have any problems. Skype would reconnect automatically when i turn it on.

Found a fix for this on the Skype Pocket PC forum.

I still can't receive any authorizations though, although everything works fine and I can IM or call

Just an FYI, a new Windows (pot Pocket PC) version of Skype was released on the 24th.
