Which phone do you suggest has best performance with Skype out and Skype In
also do the Skype mobile versions support skype SMS and does this work well.
Battery issues and performance with Skype running on each model?
I have read a few things about the GPS functionality on P3600.. is this true?
Skype: The 4350 (Herald) only has a 200MHz processor, so technically the P3600 ought to be better as Skype is processor intensive. Skype 2.2 doesn't work properly with 3600; not sure about 4350. Skype 2.1 works fine.
Of course the major difference is that the 4300 has a hard keyboard. For a faster processor, wait for the Tytn II
GPS: There are no problems with the P3600 GPS. Most reported problems are either due to people messing with the default settings, or not configuring the Application settings of the various GPS programs properly.
Skype 2.2 works great with mine P3600. For chat only
Are You Serious?
Using Skype for Chat only, is, well,.....
Looks like Skype/Google folks are planning something. It´s plain deadbrain to kill some devices out of your "latest" SW upgrade.
Don´t you think?.
I just have had to pass 2.1 to some surprised friend that just bought a new P3600.
Unbealivable.
skype 2.1 on 3600 / trinity
So then Skype 2.1 works with trinity for voice calls?
also anyone has any experience of making Skype SMS work with Skype for Mobile>?

I have replaced it with v2.1 and everything's just fine now. Voice calls are OK.

No - it's not at all true. You have not read a few things about the GPS functionality on P3600 at all.
If you could explain what you think you read - I could have a go at answering.
TO let you know - with recent (since March) ROMs, the GPS functionality is activated and works very well indeed.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying!

That's what I meant, 2.1 works OK with voice calls.
I haven't tested the SMS feature.

Hi I use my htc tytn & htc 3600 both work excellent with skype even through my network provider (3g gprs) for voice chat & text both. I am 3 network & voip is free for me on my x-series add on so i installed fring from www.fring.com & do voice cahtting with my buddies online on any of these services: msn messenger, googletalk, skype, icq & sip via 3g/gprs (i can do it through wifi as well but as i have unlimited voip minutes & i don't have to depend on wifi network) so i am online 24 hrs & people can call me free & i can call online people for free & the quality is excellent as good as a normal phone either through network or wifi.

Lucky man!
Where in the world you get "unlimited" voip 3G access for free? (monthly flat rate I suppose) I want that too! ;o)
I'm sure you have spoiled lot of jealous readings on your post......
BTW do you have a reading on how much 3G Mb data your Voip calls use per minute?

Here is a question (let me know if this is a re-post):
There is a way to make free calls in the US using Sipdroid full, Gizmo5 and GV (if you have a google voice account) per this guide:
http://iiordanov.blogspot.com/2009/07/sipdroid-gv-guava.html
This works great when I use GV to call any U.S. number. I decided to try to add Skype Lite to the mix. I set up GV to control any outgoing call in hope that the call that Skype out calls will be intercepted by GV and then routed through Gizmo5 to Sipdroid. I used Skype lite to call my home number (I have Skypeout unlimited world) and even though I got the call back through Sipdroid and heard the ringing tune in my G1, My home phone never rang.
What did I do wrong?
Any change this can work?
Why would you want to use skype? Its just a proprietary mess. You can simply use sipdroid straight up with any generic sip account.

I am using Skype for several years at home. I have unlimited world account for international calls, I have phone adapters at home that work with Skype and an impatient wife that would kill me if I introduce another solutions. All my friends using Skype to communicate. I don't want to have duplicate services or change my life.

Thats too bad. Skype, being proprietary, does not and will not ever dominate the voip market -- you're going to have to ditch it eventually. It's easier to do it now rather than wait until you have no choice.
Fring is now available for Android, from their website or via the Market.
Allows you to make Skype calls, including SkypeOut to landlines (if you have SkypeOut credits in your Skype account).
It seems to be more compressed and "echoy" than just using Skype on my netbook (using the same WiFi connection) but it does work and lets you use your data plan rather than voice minutes.
Also lets you see if your Skype contacts are available.
Yep, nice little app. Brilliant if you want to make cheap/free calls (just watch your data plan).
Hi all,
VOIP'ing with Android...is this still possible/worthwhile now Skype is blocking Fring?
Why / how?
All comments more than welcome!
i use sipdroid with my google voice/gizmo number
i think skype gives you the number and server info you can put into sipdroid doesnt it?
Nimbuzz works fine with Skype over WiFi, 3G/E (at least in the Netherlands) is slow.. as far as I see, best Skype solution right now..

Is it still possible to get a gizmo number? if so how?
I need VOIP so i can get rid of my blackberry and be able to receive calls in low signal areas that have wifi (ie my HOUSE)
I'm tired of carrying 2 phones to make sure i don't miss calls thanks to the UMA feature on the BB.
lets all file a complain to skype to extend skype rollout to all android devices regardless of carrier (lucky americans on verizon,damn you )
isn't there a way for videocall with skype?

i dont believe so, i signed up for it ages ago when i had my nokia and had forgotten about it, luckily i had it set up before google locked it down, hopefully they'll open it back up eventually
Personally I use SIPDROID with www.voipcheap.com (very very good rates a free call plans). If you want a good selection of DID numbers try www.localphone.com
SIPDROID does some sort of video call, if I recall correctly it is a little strange their method, never used it myself, but there is a demo on their website.

Hi,
I am new to this, just flashed my AT&T N1 to CM6 RC3 yesterday and I am exploring everything new. Is there a way to get skype for my N1? I know they have it on Verizon, why no AT&T love? Is there some sort of way to access the verizon android app market to download it?
Please help,
Thanks
No Skype.
You can download Nimbuzz or any other Skype-supporting client.
is it possible that skype for verizon is ported to At&T?

And by any other client, you mean... ???
With Fring having dropped Skype support, I thought Nimbuzz was the only Android client that supported Skype voice, yah?
SIPDroid, I believe, allows Skype calls.
Also Skype Lite, which was dropped by Skype, can still be easily found on the internet.

SIPDroid, I was unaware of. But doesn't Skype Lite just use your minutes instead of data, for voice calls, which makes it kinda worthless?
AFAIK, that is the Verizon Skype, that the OP insists on getting for no good reason I could think of, and Skype Lite is the old version that looks and feels like a regular mobile Skype.

Maybe it feels like a mobile Skype, but it doesn't connect via wifi or 3g data and use my skype credit/subscription to make Skype VOIP to phone calls, or use the network for Skype to Skype calls. It uses your phone's minutes to connect to the Skype network for making calls.

If i need to call friends in USA, on my nexus one in the UK. what are my options?
Google voice would obviously be the best but that doesnt work in UK atm......
Skype is only available on verizon android devices.
Fring has no skype any more and it was laggy anyways.
Thanks in advance
Using what on their side? Mobile? Desktop?
Nimbuzz for Skype.
Fring (with their own client, not through Skype or anyone else) for mobile to mobile.

Sorry, erm mobile usually on the other side (in USA)
Is Fring lag free? or acceptable standards like skype?
Any experience via Nimbuzz for skype?
12voip or nonoh
I am using VOIP services like nonoh or 12voip and sipdroid to call my parents on mobile or fixed networks (they are however in Europe not USA).
You can check and see if you can use these for calling in USA.
Using Nimbuzz for Skype myself, to talk to desktop Skype clients.
Works good, 3G and WiFi.
(but I have good 3G speeds, mostly).
The answer is rebtel
http://www.appbrain.com/app/rebtel/com.rebtel.android
thanks for the rebtel... market search brought up Voxofon. Seems its less fiddly than rebtel?!? well i used it once but my mrs hung up on me thinking i was some prank caller. At least it worked and i emailed her ass to pick up. No need for skype on pc now. B E A UUUUTIFUL
http://www.voxofon.com/mobile.html
i've been using rebtel for quite a while, and its been great.
a bit fiddly to set up, but the result has meant i'm able to call uk mobiles without getting charged.
