Re: How to make calls for free using SP5
Hello Raheel,
Can you please advise if the processor copes with Skype?
I had before an Ipaq 6365 -165mhz and the processor was not enough for Skype.
How does SP5 perform? Is the processor enough for acceptable voice conversation?
Also can you please send me the instalation files for Skype? For some reason I cannot see the link for downloading these files.
Thanks.
Andrei

I have used the SP3i for some time. I sync it with Outlook contacts, calender and tasks, which works well. HOwever, when calling up tasks on the SP3i, it lists them alphabetically, not in date order. Also, the reminder for tasks all take place at once (8am), even if you have different times in tasks on outlook. How does SP5 handle sync and tasks?

why not try to design your own homescreens. it's really easy and fun and you'll end up with a unique looking homescreen.

How to make calls for free using SP5
buy everyone in your family the SP5 and put skype on it and talk to each other fore free, using WiFi
The installation cabs from Skype will not install on the device directly, complaining it is not compatible.
I fired up the MagicCab, a cab extraction utility by Inventop, to extract the files and registry. There is two groups, one goes under \Storage Card\Program Files\Skype, the other goes to \Windows. I then created a .reg file to import with the details. The full setup steps are:
1. Copy the files to proper locations. The file can be downloaded at here
Extract the files, copy them to your device using Active Sync's file explorer. The main difference from v1, SkypeSetup.dll goes to \Windows, and if you have installed v1 before, delete \Storage Card\Program Files\Skype
2. You will need a registry editor, PHM Registry Editor or I used Resco Explorer's Registry addon and imported the .reg file (go to the folder you copied the reg file via File Explorer or Resco Explorer 2003, click to execute and import it.
3. Copy the Skype.lnk file under \Windows\Start Menu
4. Reboot the device.
5. Run the Skype using the link. After the long license agreement page, agree and continue.
6. This step, I haven't done during an upgrade from v1 to v2, as my login info was already saved.
If you are doing a fresh http://www.sems.org/content/do....zipinstall, it will say Tap here to sign in, as you all know there is no touch screen on the smartphone. We'll need the help of either Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys or Pocket Controller Pro http://www.microsoft.com/downl...splaylang=en
I used Pocket Controller. MS Developer Power Toys comes with ActiveSync Remote Display, which can be used to access the Smartphone via your PC. Whichever you use (Soti provides a trial version as well), you can click on the PC to the Tap here part and voila, it will pop up your account login details. Once you enter them, it will save them, and you won't need to worry about it. Then it will connect and there you have a working version of Skype.
Now time to have fun with your Skype :)

hey! phone is quiet good & is more compareable to nokia's E60. and E60 has more feartues than in sp5 viz: office applications, PTT,downloadable games, voip over wlan, gprs etc... also print options.
Can we download skype software onto this phone directly from skype.com & can skype work in gprs, wi-fi network areas... Also this phone does'nt have msoffice - word, notepad, xls,mobile powerpoint...Can we get this in a whole new version of sp5? The SP5i.???
