Skype for Windows Mobile releases

By Raul on March 27, 2009 in Skype for Windows Mobile, Skype for Windows Mobile beta.

This week has been busy for us on the Windows Mobile front. We have released two new versions: a hotfix for Skype 2.5 for Windows Mobile and Skype 3.0 beta for Windows Phones.

If you are interested in exploring new things then I would recommend you try out the new beta version, but remember that as it's a beta version, it might misbehave from time to time.

If things don't work as expected, please let us know about it. Feel free to comment this blog post, talk about it on our forums - or if you're more technically-minded then file a bug in our public issue tracker Jira. If you haven't done so before, see the guidelines how to do it.
