Skype on the Kyros? Could anyone tell me if Skype is available on the Kyros; is Skype even compatible with the Kyros if that? I am very interested in the Kyros but it would be even more value to me if I'm able to chat and hold video conferences with friends.-Thank You! Skype on the Kyros?

Tried to install Skype on Kyros MID7024. It installs but crashes when trying to sign in. Others had the same experience. My conclusion at this time that it does not work. If you are successful let us know.

You could download the Skype app for android, and it would work. The microphone is not too good though.

I have tried Skype only and it works well for my needs. We use it for an occasionally chat with my wife's family members currently in Europe as well as one of our close friends in Colorado that we don't get to visit often. Can't help with the Hangouts question as I've never looked into using that or set it up. Good luck to you, it is a great product and we're still raving about ours. We showed friends on Easter and it was a big hit.

I am using it on a laptop using Win7 64bit. Like I said it will run on older versions of Skype (which should install (revert) when you set it up. Not all functionality is available but it has been good enough for me. Also when I have both phones plugged in (the router version as well) then I can answer a second call with the other phone without hanging up on first one. Pretty cool for me.

My wife used it when she was in Germany. Skype worked fine, we talked every day. She has 2 gig of ram in it. It only ran slow if she had other programs running in the background. CyberLink YouCam runs well on it too. You can use it for vid email, YouTube and to print selecte photo's. I hope that I was of some help.

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.

You can install skype, and you can make calls, but you must consider that this phone does not have a front camera, so you only be able to talk. Another thing to consider is the low ram memory available for use, despite the phone works great, the skype takes to much memory and sometimes it just closes itself.

Skype works well, when connected to Wi-Fi, as for using it with a 3G dongle I've not tried but it shouldn't lag if you have good service. The people on the other side of my Skype said it worked but my picture wasn't as clear as their again they were using a Asus and I used the PIPO.

I have never tried this. My impression is that it can be used in any way that Skype can be used.
