what voice chat supporting this camera you DO know? the cpu is not man enough to support both camera and voip!!
absolutely useless. entourage wanted 200% markup and taught they can sell cr*p hardware at premium prices. the reason the included a camera was to tick another "features" box. as I said even my 40USD dual sim chinese android phone have a better camera than this.
better as nook color no camera than a cr*p like this.

OK - you're right. It's crap.

Thank you. Already paying for Skype made me hope that the Skype for Android app would work on the PE. It doesn't.

Other people have found that they can use Skype for voice calls - do a search through the forum.

I've installed and uninstalled it four times, ivanjt. Don't know what else I can do. But thanks for the head's up.

Which version are you using? I haven't tried skype voice calls but was able to use it to text-chat with other skype members. If yours isn't working at all it might be you are using too new a version.
