Skype Beta 1.2 for Pocket PC available - now also with voicemail support ! August 27, 2005 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. There is no Skype for Symbian and only few Symbian phones have built-in Wi-Fi and no Symbian phones can attach Wi-Fi... while many Pocket PC phones have built-in Wi-Fi and all (!) Pocket PC phones can attach Wi-Fi through SDIO Wi-Fi card... so no wonder that there is a Skype client for Pocket PC and this client is very very good... 
Skype writes: Skype for Pocket PC provides you with the freedom to enjoy Skype on the go: in the home, office or outdoors - wherever there is a high speed data network (WiFi, 3G or EDGE) which your Pocket PC can connect to. So, find your favorite WiFi hot spot and Skype away. If you get an EDGE or 3G enabled Pocket PC with a high speed data plan, you can really start going places, while talking to your buddies for free. Version 1.2 offers the ability to make Skype to Skype calls, Skype Out calls, instant message chats and to send and receive voicemail. We also worked hard to provide good voice quality. Supported languages now include: English, German, French, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Italian and Spanish. For the best sound quality we recommend you use earphones, a device with a CPU of at least 300MHz as well as built-in WiFi. If you don’t plan to use earphones, we recommend you turn on the ‘echo cancellation’ in the Skype application (You can do that under Tools / Options in the Skype PPC application). If you plan to use an external WiFi card, your devices should have at least a 400MHz CPU. You can start using it today but remember, this is still an evaluation version To learn more, to download Skype Beta 1.2 for Pocket PC, or to post your comments about this new version visit related blog post at Skype blog. You can provide your feedback or ask questions about 1.2 version here (a Skype forum, where you can find absolutely everything about Skype). Direct download link is here. Please download it to your Pocket PC and start using it now! Yes, it is only a beta version but if you will provide feedback with problems then Skype will correct them before releasing 1.2 in non-beta version!
