    Downloading/installing it now on my SGS. Thanks for the heads up.

    Edit: Ok, have it installed. Asks to sync your contacts or update existing. Then it froze.
    After a couple minutes, it unfroze - I presume it was sync'ing.

    Skype to Phone quality is good.
    Skype to Skype quality is good as well.
    Doesn't appear to be video calling?

    Installed fine on HTC Desire. Had to reboot phone to shut it down.

    Desire to Desire, the call quality started ok (bit distant and crackly, but clear enough) but after a minute degraded with a kind of bubbly interference.

    Fring have launched a Fring-out service to day also.

    I think on one of the links I posted in the OP it says it isn't on the Galaxy S yet. I have just used it for IMing this morning so far. Quite happy with it. I have Samsung Spica

    Still no video then?

    Skype shouldn't have blocked Fring, they have video calling, screw Skype!

    Broken already for me! Working fine earlier, now when i try sign in it says:

    'We're sorry, but we couldn't sign you in. Please try again later.'

    Uninstall and reinstall hasn't helped

    Does anyone know if this will work on monthly Data plans here ie. Will the likes of Vodafone, O2, Meteor etc block Skype on 3G? If so, is it only the VOIP part that is blocked, or all the IM stuff too?

    Any ideas?

    (I know there is an issue currently with the app not logging properly)

    So just use it on Wireless then, keep your data usage down

    Got to be one of the dumbest apps ever. No way to exit or sign off! Also task manager can't kill it - keeps restarting if you try.

    Sound still goes through the headset with a bluetooth enabled car kit/ear piece connected. Hopefully this is sorted asap.

    Funny that, i found it easy enough to navigate to locate how you exit and sign off. Taks Manger was discussed on another thread, not a very good app itself according to a few developers.

    I'll give this skype app a go for a while, its free when using wifi so that is a plus already.

    Looks like the Sign In servers have crashed anyway.

    Lots of bugs to work on for skype.

    Pity because it worked well on my Hero for a while.

    And whats even more awesome is that I now have a landline number through Skype that when somebody rings, comes straight through to either my desktop or android phone.

    So I have two numbers in the same phone. And when in an area of low phone coverage, but good Wifi coverage, as often happens in large buildings and remote areas in Mayo, I can call through the Wifi connection.

    That was a problem everyone was getting last night.

    Working for me now. Have you restarted your phone?

    What phone have you got.
