Skype on the Blackjack

I just saw that Skype is now available for smartphones. I installed the version for the Dash, because the SGH-i600 is listed as a PocketPC.

I haven't made any calls yet, but it installs and loads fine.

anyone tried this yet?

I tried it. It can log in fine.. but when I try to make a call, even to the echo test, it locks up and I have to restart my phone.
I'm on an EDGE connection though. Might be different on a 3g connection.

You tried it with the samsung blackjack? which one did you download? for some reason it says that the installation was unsuccessful when it tries to install it.

I tested it out on the blackjack. Making a call was hit and miss. It locked up the phone one time, but otherwise went through on a few calls. There was a small delay, maybe a second or two while talking. The voice quality was much better than i expected.

I installed the Dash (HTC s620) version on my Blackjack.

I tried it. Installed without any issues - I used the smartphone version (the beta). I tested it to my home phone. Worked OK - sound quality was surprisingly good (like previous poster said), and had about a 1-2 second lag and a little echo. I'm using it on 3G in Phoenix.
