Skype just gave us an early Christmas present and released 2.2 beta for Windows Mobile Pocket PC & Smartphones!
It's been a long time coming, but looks really nice... I've noticed quite a few changes already.
Get yours here: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/mobile/
So, in addition to supporting a lot more devices, it has a nice new today screen plugin too. Now, you can change your presence and view notifications (missed calls, chats and contact requests) all without leaving the today screen!
Sweet! Thanks. Works very well over wifi with my dash.
In HTC P-3300 works very very well with Echo Cancelation ON. It´s a pitty the sound is still from speaker. Any solution for this ?

Try "BlueMusic" to route all sound through the bt h-set. Haven't done it with skype yet.

Anyone got any normal, telephone sounding, non-embarrasing ringtones? Need something that sounds a little more professional than my current one
What do others use?
Thanks
any wav, mp3, wma or midi you can find online would work
or you can record another phone rining using your pda or pc
or sing a rind tone yourself
google finds all
I use the Old Phone ringtone. It's included on the device.
Attached is the "Bronze" and "Steel" ringtone from the B&O phone, I use "Bronze" for SMS and it is very discreet and professional sounding, but my ringtone at the moment is this:

OMG, that banana rules!!! of course i know that animated cursor it's made of, but still, thats just f...ng LOL. thanks ;]
i use spb phone suite and when i'm dealing with something "professional" i switch to a profile which has the old phone ringtone.

you got anymore B&O ringtones?
As I understand it, those are the only two tones it has. Someone else in another post extracted them from the website, which only features those two.
Edit: Sorry to pollute the thread, but Family Guy afficionados may also appreciate these little offerings (also great for SMS).
Thanks for everyones posts, but I'm still none the wiser! (even after spending over an hour googling for ringtones...)
Surely people out there must have a decent, 'phone' sounding ringtone that they use when Family Guy etc wouldn't go down too well?
Perhaps I have spotted a gap in the market.....www.business-ringtones.com .... www.boring-ringtones.com ..... etc

if non of these hits or others from the google search helps you
i sugest you specify what you are looking for
because i sure never heard a ring tone that made me go
"damm that sounded like a business and or boring phone rining"
....
Damn, none of those sounded like a business ringtone.... only joking!!
Thanks mate, will take a look....but don't you just hate it when people find things instantly on Google, after you've spent ages looking?!?!
I'm still starting www.boring-ringtones.com BTW...gonna have some reeeeeal boring ringtones on there.
I use the CTU ring from the show 24 as my ringtone.
Sounds like a phone, but not the same old same old.
How proffffesssionallll do you need?
I dont use ringtone, if you are pro. vibra only!!!
You can create your own ringtones, well they are more like statements as if your phone is speaking to you. Go to AT&T text to speech
http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php#top
type in what you want it to say and chose your dialect, try it out and when your happy with it then download it as a wave file - easy - and free.
Different statements for different profiles, I use Phone Alarm and at 10:00 each night the phone switches into "flight mode" and my XDA Exec say
"Flight Mode has been activated"
www.zedge.com have a voice and effects tool which makes tones and sms for free
Heres a cool idea, which I happen to use. Download a text-to-speech program like coolspeech. Program it to say:
"(Your Name), you have an incoming call".
Save it as a wav and drop it in my ringtones folder. Very simple and professional.
Just had a good laugh on the AT&T site writing stupid messages to have it played back to me....ah well, passed at least 2 mins....
Anyway, back to the point.
Just to briefly specify what I'm looking for (still didn't find it from Google even after your help Rudegar)-
- a telephone sounding ringtone, but not like an old phone with the bells on, just a gentle, not shrill, modern sounding telephone.
Surely there's one somewhere???
download the ringtone here.

The Ring-Standard included in WM6 sounds pretty professional and "non-wierd". Might be an easy option if you have WM6.
Since i started using Windows Mobile phone i have been realising how simple a fast Palm OS is. Especially the Calendar in Palm.
Is there a way to use Palm OS:s Calendar on Windows Mobile?

(big sigh...)
I wish there was a way! I miss the Palm Calendar, and even more: I miss DTBK5!!!
Unfortunately I believe the answer is no.

ive tried so many different calendar applications for ppc but none of them really can take Palms place...
wonder if someone can make a rip of Calendar from Palm Os. Im already enjoying Treos great threaded sms.
I've noticed that the PalmOS Agendus calendar program is now available on PocketPC, so perhaps that brings a bit of the PalmOS style calendar to the Windows world?
Peter, thank for the tip.
Checked it out. It doesnt look as Palm Calendar at all. Its just...too much.
The simple yet smart Palm Calendar...fast and few clicks.
i guess ive become one of those nostalgic ex Palm users nagging about WM.
Yet theres still hope. Im sure someone can make a copy someday.

Nik, yes - I understand. My wife uses a Palm Treo 680 and really likes the calendar app. It does look good, and fast. I've never cared for the WM calendar app much myself. The calendar entry form is OK, it is the views that I don't like much. I tried Pocket Informant but (IMhO) it is way too complex for my needs.
I use SBSH's PocketBreeze now. It is not a calendar but rather a Today screen plug in for the Calendar. So you still use the default Calendar to add appts, but you can use PB to view everything. It is quite powerful yet simple.

couldn't agree more.
I installed the trial version of Agendus and I find it too busy and cluttered. Almost unusable on the 750's screen. I think I will give it another day and then uninstall it.
Happy to join you club of ex Palmers winging about WM...
Y.
I currently have the Kaiser, needless to say I am getting tire of it's huge size and WM that I am always having problems with.
The one thing that I can not live without is the quick dial feature, where I can start dialing by Name OR Number and it will automatically start looking them up for me.
I hear Blackberry does this but after watching a review video of the Pearl I was turned off by how crappy the UI was. What other phones have this feature? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi guys
I'm searching for some ringtones, mainly for sms (short, a beep or two), which are optimized in term of volume and frequency. We all know that the speaker on the Raphael is very poor, so maybe some of you have a suiteable ringtone that makes me not miss too many sms (like 10 undread today)
If anyone has other suggestion on how to increase the loudness or vibration, please share your knowledge!
http://lifehacker.com/5312062/use-an-ultrasonic-ringtone-for-stealthy-notifications
try one of these. tho, it might make your dog bark.
what?!!
without a doubt... you have a raphael, so shoot on over to here http://blownfuze.org/index.php#10
My Main Man Doug @ blownfuze.org has customized ringtones to get things noticed.. if you like 24, he has a 24 ringtone.. just check him out, you'll be glad you did.. He's the man
better late than never..
