I'm a very new adopter (just a couple of days ago) of an MDA pro (unlocked) still running WM5, now considering upgrading to WM6.
Sorry to say this, but it's really a bit intimidating and time-wasting to check out all the thousands of replies in each ROM thread.
The wiki page says very little (if any) about the pros and cons of each ROM.
So just to kick out to use WM6, with the following basic requirement:
Skype works
Video calls (including Skype video) works
All wireless connections work
Which ROM out there can do this?
I've tried ranju briefly but quickly found out that Skype doesn't work at all...
And I can't see any link to the official WM6 ROM for Uni. Could someone drop a pointer here? Any annoying issue with this "stock" version?
I'd be very surprised if there is no such option.
Any recommendation and suggestion is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Dave
Ok, hope this helps:
There's no official WM6 version for our Uni's. Any WM6 ROM has been made, unofficially, by a ROM cooker.
Video call is incomplete on WM6, some ROMs have it but it doesn't work properly. If Videocall is a must, stick with WM5.
If a particular ROM has trouble with Skype, read through the forum thread for that ROM, most likely a fix has been discovered.
Have fun with your Uni.
Thanks for the reply. This surely clarifies the situation.
I will first try to find out which WM6 ROM gets along with Skype. Will report back if successful.
read through the forum thread for that ROM, most likely a fix has been discovered

i need MSN/Windows live messenger that runs with no errors plz. i have tried 3 possible versions and all report that i have no internet connection
so if you can provide me with messenger that has no problems plz !

The working TML cab was posted in Tomal's 8.2 thread twice. It works fine.
I searched the thread for "live", "msn" and "messenger". No download-link found.
Maybe you can give us the link to the post inside the thread.

Hi!
Has anyone got the Planet3 (Skype, MSN and TV) working on this phone.
I tried the User agent hack and the browser.dll (posted by Sub69), but in one case it says my phone is not supported and the other will redirect me to the www.three.co.uk main site (browser.dll one)
I would really like to get it working as Three has the best internet for mobiles in UK (at least what I could find).
Please help me!

EDIT - After soft reseting few time (one didnt do it), it seems to work with a url - mobile.three.co.uk/hb/singleurl. Have the N95 browser.dll active also. So let the testing begin

The TytnII is supported and sold by 3UK. To make your phone appear like a TytnII, amend the broswers useragent string to
HTC_TyTN_II Mozilla/4.0
Then going to mobile.three.co.uk will give you the HTC version of Planet3, which you have already found. No need to make your phone pretend to be a Nokia when it can appear like a Kaiser

Three don't have a Skype client for Windows Mobile, you need to install the iskoot client and make some registry changes so it points at the 3 Skype servers.
I got my Hermes working with the free Skype service on 3 by following post #46 on this page

This is for UK users so you'll have to google to get the correct settings for your country, but the basic principle will be the same.
IF you go to http://www.skype.com/mobile/, what you find absent is Windows Mobile!
This story makes me hope that Skype for WM is not dead, because I use it almost every day.
What do you think?
Yeah but there are plenty of other apps that can connect to skype
Such as?
Fring? Tried it. Not as good.
Nimbuzz? Same.
What else is there?
Not sure why they had never put a link to windows mobile so it is better to download it just incase.

implus (latest version only) works well for skype Although its only a short trial version
Perhaps this has got something to do with it!!!

This is on their FAQ:
Why can’t I download Skype Lite or Skype for Windows Mobile?
Unfortunately, Skype Lite – a version of Skype for your mobile phone – and Skype for Windows Mobile are no longer available for download from our site. We’ve chosen to withdraw Skype Lite and Skype for Windows Mobile because we want to offer our new customers an improved mobile experience – much like the version that has proved so popular on the iPhone , and which is now available on Symbian
It seems to suggest a new version coming?
I hope so!
Thanks for the post.

Does it work on 1.66 (479.2)?
I have 1.66 official rom from htc.com (europe one, edning with 479.2) and its not working..
Its the .cab from Skype.com before they pulled it.
If you give us more details we will be able to help more.
skype stopped developing for windows mobile. ive read that they are working on a wp7 version, but support for 6.5 has stopped. unfortunatly, the alternative i was going to reccommend, fring, has dropped skype support 'due to network stress' (there is a lot of talk that it is due to the iphone and apple not liking it), so i would expect a a lot of 3rd party providers to follow. you could have a look at nimbuzz, but ive got no experience in using it.
nimbuzz
