Hopefully we'll be able to talk skype2skype once it's out of beta...

Just instaled it. Can't find the dialing feature (no icon on top left corner). Can't do any out calls to other skypes. Have 10€ of skype credit (but should't be required since I'm the one calling). Tried with 3G and Wifi...

Can chat. See contacts... just can't call.

Sure it's just a misconfiguration of mine, or a quick update will be provided since it was so recently released. Any way would apreciate some feedback, just in case I'm doing it all wrong.

Thank's a lot

just found the answer... it's in the manual... sadly calls aren't yet available in portugal...

hopefully not for long...

No calls can be made, no free calls received even when in WI-FI spot. This application is not ready for prime time, it sucks. If I wanted to IM, I would use another application. Please make Skype like it is on computers. Free calls computer-to-computer (or phone-to-skype_contact) over wifi or carrier's data plan.
Else is is useless.

Sad that receiving any phone calls, even from a skype caller, skype credit is used.

Anyone know if I have unlimited world calling plan with skype, does that mean I can call unlimited with my skype mobile lite as well? As long as I have a DATA plan? thanks

Sounds so very cool to have SKYPE on your G1...but sadly it seems to work in the US only or so...

Because I tried to find it on the Android Market in The Netherlands but --->
it is not there!

Has anyone an idea if they going to make it available in the Netherlands?

greets and thanx,
PeLi

Hi every one, I have the skype S2 and the old S1 UK 3network to use in the uk when there, and more or less it works very very well, i understand this kind of cell fone is coming to the netherlands, can any one tell me if it is coming, what kind of cell I:E skypecell / LG 3G / etc, looking so much forward to it coming here... maybe an normal 3G cell, with a download with skype lite.
if any one can answer please reply.... thanks kelvin.

I have Skye on 3 and would like to know if I was to take out a yearly subscition would I be able to use this in Turkey, also would anyone in the UK be able to contact me in Turkey from the UK with my Skype number.

It sucks, even having skype credit I can't make any calls - why don't they make one like for the Windows based handhelds where it works like on a computer.

Do it right or just don't do it !

can someone post a direct link?
im trying to find it on the market but its not there, but im from outside the US, maybe its not available here?

No skype call avalaible, no icon near the other (Chat, Show profile, Remove ,Block), even after I have bought credit.

I've credit but I'm unable to make or receive a call.
In the main skype page 'www.skype.com you' can read with font 28 'Free internet calls'... add the asterisk 'except for android'.

I'm in Italy can be a problem ?

Any news on a 'real' Skype client for Android (data-based calls of WiFi)? Especially now a version (that is 'real' from the get-go) has been announced.

Remember: there may be loads of iPhones and iPod Touchs compared to G1s at this time, but the advantage Android has over Apple is the same as that Linux and Windows have over OS X - that they're not restricted to one manufacturer's hardware; loads of big handset manufacturers (including Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Samsung) have announced plans to release Android-based handsets, so it won't take long for Android to destroy the market-share of Apple's firmware; so Android is definitely worth investing the time (and money) in.

I guess the iPhone is the shiny one.

Or are you waiting for Android to hit every other smart phone on the market before releasing it?

"Lite" This is pointless, I can just as well use my Skype international numbers rather than waste battery running an application... it's quicker than firing up an application as well. It's not beta, or lite, it's just plain incomplete.

Skype could have had a bunch of early adopters talking it up before Google Voice hit the ground running but, well... fail.

Mm, Android should be a perfect platform for Skype. Android is about freedom from restrictive ohone OS's and Skype is about freedom from telephone companies through voip. Hopefully they will realise this and in some act of honor, stop making deals with apple and start allowing people to use Skype how the feel is best.

I cannot find Skype from Android Market in Spain. Could it be some operator (Vodafone) or regional restriction?

I have been searching using my HTC Dream Google phone for a week for Android "Market" but Skype is not there! Has Skype been removed from the repositories there?

I have been using Skype Lite for some time on Android now. Would like to share my experience here.
I love the concept of making actual call over the cell network rather than VoIP network. Skype over IP on my desktop quite often has poor quality. I'm not sure how it works on iPhone over WiFi, but on Windows Mobile quality was horrible. I understand that some will consider it a heresy, but I have unlimited minutes. Calling to other countries makes perfect sense. Quality has been quite good for calling Russia from US. I would not mind to have a choice of VoIP, but I hope that option to make Skype calls over cell would remain.
One gripe - Skype Lite application on Android creates huge load on the processor and drains the battery without valid justification - in the end it is not VoIP.
