I use Skype on the 5800...I think it came with the Skype app or you can get it sent to your phone from the Skype website. You can sign into your account on the phone and use it just like you would on your computer without having your computer on or using a data plan. Since the 5800 has a second camera facing you I am going to try to see if I can get video. I use it over my wi-fi connection to make all my phone calls and safe tons of money with a monthly subscription or free to Skype users. The call quality is really excellent, but it will depend on having a good wi-fi connection.

I use Nimbuz, which supports Skype as well as many other popular IM applications. Nice to have all my IM apps all in one program. I used to use Fring, but since it no longer works with Skype video, Nimbuz is a better multi-protocal application.And yes, Numbuz (Skype) can be used over WiFi or 3G packet data. Your choice.@geekgirl, Sorry, but no video calling using Skype. The "official" app never implemented it. Fring did support it until recently, but it no longer works. So voice only I'm afraid. :(

I downloaded Fring to the 5800 from http://www.fring.com/default.php. I do Skype calls with video through Fring. I don't know if Skype has an application for this phone that you can download and use directly from Skype's web site. Making Skype calls through Fring works and sounds the same. With Fring you can make Skype calls, Yahoo calls, MSN calls, ICQ calls, Google talk, and others. Go to Fring's web site, download their software and try it you will not be disappointed.

Yes, I downloaded Skype successfully and have used it nearly daily for work and personal communication. It seems to work fine on the HP Mini -- perhaps the machine runs a tiny bit slower when using Skype, but I barely noticed it.

Yes indeed. Not the best quality though, but it does work well withing the latest versions of Skype. Good luck.

Yes, you're right, no oficial Skype. BB has it's own video call app, but you need the other party to have BB too in order to make the call. Anyway, it's possibe to install modified Android apps (.bar extensión) to the Playbook, so I did it, and now I can run Skype in the Playbook, of course, only over WiFi.

I'll give Skype a shot later tonight with a custom ROM install. No video support as yet that I am aware of, but I'll let you know if it works otherwise. Going to try out Yahoo Messenger with the video calling as well.

No, there is nothing in the user guide that mentions Wi-Fi calling. You can use apps like Skype to make calls over Wi-Fi, though.

Yes you can Skype on the LTP2 just like a regular desktop. The software might look different from the desktop version.

This phone will not work with Skype. It has no Skype application and no WiFi capabilities. It is not a cordless, but a cellular phone.

This is my answer to you Eathen...IF you want to use it like a "normal" cell phone, then all of the answers provided before will be YES. I actually use a smart phone with my SKYPE and call free in Wi-fi areas. But, that's just me...I have wifi at work and at home, so it works for me...
