For me, Skype is one of the most useful programs ever created - ever since I received my Icemat headset, Skyping with colleagues has simplified business and leisure life. However, even back then, Skype’s reliability let me down…a few versions(”you must upgrade, blahblah”) were simply incompatible with my Windows 2000 workstation and slowed it to a crawl.
When the ipaq rx4240 arrived, installing Skype onto it was my #1 priority. It never let me down(I once had a 5h voice call)…until version 2.2 came out and fu**** up voice calls for good.
Anyways, the rx4240 CAN do Skype voice calls…if you manage to get your hands on an old 2.1 version of Skype. Just delete the borked-up 2.2 release off your ipaq and install the file found here.
After that, your ipaq can do voice calls again - here’s a Google Video of my rx4240 bugging the call test service.
P.s. No idea why Skype dropped support for Samsung CPU’s from Skype v2.2. I forwarded a copy of this post to Skype’s press department…let’s see what they say…
