Skype on 6700 info (skypeout credits issue)

The high CPU version of skype for pocket pc does seem to work. We should all be able to make free outgoing calls with it...but as you guys probably know there seems to be a skypeout credits issue when we try it from the 6700. Making a long story short, skype knows this and they're working on it..

I posted the Q here:

I made several calls over Wifi with the high cpu version I loaded yesterday and it works fine for me. Although its slow to start, I had no issues, and it seems to work very well.

I can't make any Skype calls right now because my Sprint and my home IP addresses are in the 7x range

Everytime I want to dIAL the number, I have to take Stylus out and press + then the 1+number... Anyone know a way to dial single handed?

Hold down the 0/+ key on the Skype dialpad and it will dial the + symbol.

There is also a contacts address book that you can navigate to and press the joystick down (enter) to dial.

Yes you can dial directly from contacts. Just find the name you want and then hold down the stylus for the popup window. It will then give you an option to "Call with Skype". It is actually pretty cool.
