Mobile Skype

Can somebody please tell me if they have managed to load Skype mobile on to their Wizard/Vario, how they did it ? I thought that it was going to be easy but my Vario keeps coming up 'unsuccessful.' Thanks.

Yes, I have loaded Skype 2.0 on my MDA and use it quite regularly. I normally use WIFI for connection and it works pretty well, even compared to my computer.

Just go to the download section at skype.com and download the pocket pc version. Install it just like any other software.

Thanks..managed to get it on to my storage card...now to get it to show up in the program list.
However, would appreciate further advice...when I logged in on the PDA, I was expecting to see the full list of contacts that I have on my Skype home PC, but all I have is the original one or two that I put in. Is there a way to transfer the lot over to my PDA...or is it a simple reset, or the next time I log in it will be updated. Likewise the other way round...when on the road and I key a contact in, will it 'sync' to the PC automatically ? Thanks, Mike.

I've been using Skype for ages. From what I remember, it should update on your next login. I have all my contacts, and they sync nicely between PDA and PC.
