I just realized that I can use skype on my phone. I've always thought skype was something of a pain, could it be that using it this way is less annoying? If anything, at least the android version might be more used and better maintained than the linux version which has been getting bug fixes only for years now.

Anyone doing this? Is it any better, smoother sound?

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Haven't used the Linux version of Skype, but the Android version is good. It's a battery hog, and judging by the rating on the Market, you can tell that people are not happy with it. But it's a good enough for use once in a while.

I used Skype until I discovered WhatsApp.

You can make voice calls through WhatsApp? I tried it once with Tahir, and I got charged for an international call by my operator!

One question, is whatsapp just for iPhone to iPhone and Android to android?

Or can I chat with iPhone friends with my android?

iPhone, Android and BB are all compatible.

Yeah. It didn't cost a lot, so I didn't care. You should try removing your SIM, connecting to Wi-Fi and then trying to call someone and see if that works. I doubt it.

@Melo: WhatsApp is a cross-platform app. You can chat with everyone.

Gonna wipe my phone and install a normal HTC Desire ROM. This Desire HD ROM is having mixed performance. Not completely happy with it.

Thanks mates.

Helping out Tahiro to root his phone. Going pretty well.

The sound quality is great IMO and the app itself is good, however, it drain the battery like crazy. Absolutely can not be left running while iddle, unless you're one of those that charge the battery every 12h.

So HTC Desire HD is going for 641,- € in the shop.

But it costs 564,- € if I order from Internet

Will probably get it in a few days.

Dunno how it works there, but have you checked the prices in 3-4 different stores?

Yeah, the cheapest one is 564 euro. I can use my own sim and don't have to worry about installement-payment- AKA- Marotta-style

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Cheapest on the internet or cheapest in the stores in your city?

Just saw a few piucs of that. Looks nice, but another ROM that's similar to it is the MIUI ROm, which is currently being ported to the G2, if I'm not wrong.
