Skype finally made it to Android and Legend in particular. Haven't tested it with voice calls yet. Now, maybe GTalk will follow?

I've tested it a bit and it even works on EDGE. I couldn't believe that myself but it does.

Hmm... Just seeing the list of permissions it requires confirms I'll stay away from this one as I did from the PC version.

Oh well I lived without it so far without any problem, this won't change ;)

edit: and for a 2.1 stock legend, that's also a pretty big app to install!

Gtalk is a stock app on Android. Or i'm missing your point?
Tested Skype for few mins, seems to work fine. Great sound quality, but... It's so heavyweight and there is no option to shut it down COMPLETELY. Lastly, my phone went offline (which newer happened before) so i just uninstalled it and already forgot. Bloatware.

skype.apk file

Can someone please post the Skype.apk file.
The Skype download for Android link doesn't work.

Thanks,

When I try to sign in, it instantly says try again later, seems like it doesn't even try to sign me in. Any earthlings having the same problem?

Skype works on my phone so far. However I do see a lot of comments that say the login fails after a while.

EDIT: Spoke too soon... Skype just crashed, and now I can't sign in either :(

Don't know about data yet, but it seems to be sucking quite a bit of battery though.
