Using Skype on T-mobile SDA (MDA -others too maybe/probably)

Postby dama on Fri Jul 21, 2006 9:30 pm

Long story short: I just bought a T-mobile SDA, and found out about this hack here http://oregonstate.edu/~keiterk/?p=9 .
Of course I tried, and it works flawlessly Very Happy.
(You have to do everything that the post says, including unlock, put skype on there, do the shortcut, and install pocket controller )
Cheers!

Nice, though, I googled around and couldn't find out what an SDA was. is it those phones with arm processors in them?
Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with your microsoft products.

yes bat. It has a 200 Mhz processor.
Link from T-mobile:

I think as long as you have a processor around that speed on your phone (overclock optional) and windows mobile then you can do this.

Sounds like a good phone, though I would definitely get the nokia version like the 8280 or something like that, I've had nothing but bad experiences with motorola. However, it does make me think it's just about time for a new phone Smile

well bat fyi the last phone I had was a nokia 3120 so i know what you mean.
It's gone through so many torture tests by me and my not-so-careful fingers.
I wouldn't mind going for the N93 or N80 though: http://www.nokia.com/nseries/index.html
A friend of mine showed me his N80 last week and that thing is awesome - best of all, video conversation.
BUT it costs him $500 to get it, so I think I'd opt for the free SDA from T-mobile. Very Happy
