Skype voice calls with Microsoft Smartphone - possible and tested September 26, 2005 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. However you need Microsoft Smartphone that has built-in Wi-Fi, has QVGA display (176x220 doesn't work - we tried) and is powered by Windows Mobile 5.0! The trick is to get version of Skype for Pocket PC, put in Microsoft Smartphone and play with it (the version for MS Smartphone is in Beta yet and doesn't support voice yet): As for the software compatibility of both Windows Mobile versions, the developers advanced farther – applications for Pocket PC run on smartphones powered by WM 5.0 for Smartphone ... The developers’ position is the following. There is no support of voice messages in the client for smartphones: firstly, processor productivity is not enough (200 MHz); secondly, connection speed is too low. We tried to launch the version for Pocket PC. And it does work! However the problem is that it is meant to work with the touch screen, without it you can’t get authorized in the system. It doesn’t matter, we used Pocket Controller Professional 5.03 to operate the smartphone from PC screen, and we’ve got successfully authorized in the system and made a call via Skype. The headset produced good sound, but frames were dropping out from time to time, the sound quality proved acceptable.
