Skype for WinMo--most recent version? - General Questions and Answers

Unfortunately, Skype has stopped all development of their Windows Mobile client, so there will be no new versions.
What I would like to know is--what is the latest version they made, and where can it be downloaded?
I read somewhere that Skype does have on its web site a WinMo version specifically for the SE Experia X1. Does that work on other WinMo phones, besides the X1? Does it have any advantages over the last general WinMo version?
Thank you.

Skype Version 3.0
Build 3.0.0.256
is the latest version. can be downloaded if you use the google and I don't know about a special X1 version.
Skype for Windows Mobile has been completly stopped

Moved as not software release.

I've not got this working with my wm6.1 ipaq ppc (classic) with widcomm stack.
please let us know if you get it working with your device (hw&sw versions) and any comments.
Also if you find any gadgets that you recommend let us all know.
Samsung i600 is working perfectly, but there are very few sideshow gadgets and most of them suck .
The mobile app says it is a beta and has expired, does anyone know if there is a newer/better version out there I've been looking all over the place and cant find anything? Am I the only person who thinks sideshow is really cool???
i am also getting a similar message that beta has expired ... any help
Just found this

Ive had the cab for this for ages, but only recently have I had vista to be able to use it.
Ive had it working well on:
HTC S710 VOX
HTC P3450 ELF
HTC P3450 ELFIN
Doesnt seem to work on my Polaris, doesn't seem to save my user name. Always get asked to "Selected Current User" and can never turn on any gadgets in windows. Anyone else with the same problem?
thats what the expired cab did for me. have you uninstalled the old one and reinstalled the new one?
i'm using it for the media centre gadgets, but i have TV Pack 2008 and they dont work with it :-(
i've been waiting years for sideshow and now the thing i want to use it with isnt suported

yeah tried to install the new one but doesn't work. Apparently Microsoft are working on this but I don't think they will release anything soon. They stated that "We have seen this issue, and are investigating the cause. It seems to be sporadic." Testing this on Windows 7 beta so don't know whether this is the cause or whether it might be the ROM I am using.

HTC Touch Cruise with XDA-developers ROM

Hello all,
I'm totally new to this so please be a little patient with me.
Last week I bought a second hand HTC Touch Cruise. After playing a while and learning hoe to use I noticed some discrepancies between the software and the manual.
In ROM settings I found:
Released at XDA-developers.com
Polaris (Build 0.60)
(c)2007 bepe @ Polaris Project
Thanks to: maimach, ...
Edition: Full
ROM date: 17.03.2008
Build time: 15:11:29
My questions:
1. So this is not an original Windows Mobile 6.1?
2. Should I upgrade this, if yes: how?
3. I'm missing the Windows Live Messenger
4. I totally do not like the Opera Browser, but this seams fixed and automatically being used
5. Windows Update is gone; do I miss something there
6. Is it possible to go back to the original Windows? And what would I miss with that?
Thanks for your patience, and hopefully someone can guide me through this.
Greetings,

Yes, you have a custom version of Windows Mobile installed on your device. HTC has not yet released a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for the Touch Cruise yet. From factory, they all come with Windows Mobile 6.0 installed. The factory version has Pocket IE setup as the default browser, along with Opera 8.65 installed. Also, the factory version does not have threaded SMS and zooming in IE, since those are features of WM6.1, not WM6.0. If I were in your shoes, I'd keep the Bepe ROM just a little while longer as the official HTC WM6.1 release should (fingers crossed) be here any day now. I'd upgrade to that, instead of going back the the official WM6.0 ROM at this point only to upgrade to the official ROM when its released shortly.
Also, you might want to go to Opera.com and download the Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta. Its a much improved browser akin to the iPhone Safari experience.
Hello,
Thanks for your advice.
Yes, I will wait.
I installed the Opera 9.5beta, but I still get the problem of extreme miniaturized webpages, so I will stick to IE for now.
What about Live Messenger? I cannot get int from the Microsoft site. Is it available here?
Thanks, Arnie
Hi -- the legwork for all your questions has already been completed -- try out the forum search feature, it works very well.

Do some browsing around these forums and you'll discover a lot. A search for Live messenger cab will reveal some download links. Double tapping on the screen will zoom in when using Opera Mobile 9.5. Double tapping again will zoom you back out.

No mobile Skype anymore

I searched on xda but didn't see if someone already posted this. If this is already old news, please delete this thread. Thanks.
Skype is no longer developed for Winmo: http://www.skype.com/mobile/
They are introducing Blackberry and Android: http://www.skype.com/mobile/reminder/
It still works on my HD2 though.
Skype 3.0 for Windows Mobile
Skype 3.0 for Windows Mobile can be found at the following link: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windowsmobile/
There is no mention of Windows Mobile on the homepage; however Skype did sign a contract with Verizon Wireless and that is now up on Skype's web page. I can tell you it works on my Touch Pro 2 with Wi-Fi. I hope this helps; take care!

Skyfire 2.0 for Windows Mobile ?

Hi,
does anyone know when will be released new version 2.0 of Skyfire for Windows mobile ? I don't know why they didn't release new version also for Windows mobile or Symbian . I miss in version 1.5, TABS, touch FLASH PLAYER for playing video and faster page rendering [ faster rendering of "gray squares" ] and all this things have version for Android .
Thanks.
I need a wm version too. I've seen the video demonstration on an android device -> waaaouuuu
any date for the wm version ?
I just wanted a browser with flash support for use on my HTC S710 WM 6 S. ..
as far as i'm aware, they stopped development for winmo right now. they were supposed to have skyfire for blackberry a year ago and they stopped the development for that too. all focus is on android atm
android = teh sux lol.. but if you think about it winphone7's are coming out soon-ish. so why dev for 6.5 when its going to be outdated sooner rather than later. im kind of worried that windowsphone7 doesnt have any backwards compatability with 6.5 but then again it might not matter.
R.I.P.
Support for WM (and Nokia) pulled without (much) notice. Skyfire for Windows Mobile is dead. Only currently-supported platforms are iOS and Android. Some quote I found from Googling says they couldn't figure out a way to successfully monetize the WM user base so we're cut out. Bastards.

Unfortunately,Viesulas Skype for Windows phones are no longer available for download from Skype.
Skype has chosen to withdraw Skype for Windows phones because they want to offer their 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 phones.
Skype's aim is providing a rich user experience that allows users to enjoy free Skype-to-Skype and low cost calls as easily on the move as users do with thier desktop.
Skype felt that Skype for Windows phones were not offering the best possible Skype experience.
Therefore skype will not function on any wm operating system.
​PS Viesulas even if you install the skype.cab on your touch2 wm6.5 skype will still not fuction, as they have discontinued to offer thier service on the wm6.5 os.
