[Q] Alternative Skype IM client for WinMo6.1 Diamond?

---

Hi,

I have installed Skype 2.2 for Windows Mobile Professional (Pocket PC) on my Telus Diamond.

I don't use Skype for VoIP, I use it for the messaging. My gripe with this Skype is it puts a tag line that says something on how I'm using Skype without a PC and on a mobile with a "Learn More" link. I don't like that tagline. I can't even seem to change it. For example, my Skype is logged in at my work PC, and I want to log in from my phone as well.

I want the tagline to show as the one that's on my PC's Skype.
The other issue with this is, it doesn't go away on idle or anything like that. And as you can see, the Skype provided to Mobile users is very stripped down to a basic IM client.

No auto away on idle of 5 mins, no chat window being opened or sound or vibe or any notification when IM'd (The only way you know you got messages is when you open your Skype client, you'll see your tab "Chats" highlighted, the stupid tag line.

Hence, I'm looking for an alternative client that might be available for WinMo6.1 that allows all of what I'm looking for.

Any help would be appreciated.

But I don't know if it suits your needs.

Does it provide IM for Skype you think?
I'll give it a try.

Installed it, tested it, removed it.
It plasters the tagline, and every message sent on Skype also has a signature. Agh!

Thanks for pointing me to it though, appreciate it.
