Hello,
I have tried to install the last Skype for PocketPC (2.2), but during a call it not use the front speaker.
There is a solution?
Is It possibile to use the front cam to make a skype video call?
Thanks.

pda phones generaly have 2 speakers and the current skype
were really made for traidtional pda's really which only have the backspeaker

some of htc at least the earlier pda's not sure the ration dont even have software access to the front speaker only the gsm mobile do that

believe that a bluetooth headset is a work around of sorts

I would also love to be able to do that. Or maybe it is possible to make a regular videocall over 3g to a skype user?

you can use one of the two options described in this article to make skype use the earpiece instead of the headset or the back speaker. i haven't test any of them because my phone is in service ( :( ) but it seems to work from what others are saying.
