HTC SDA (USA) / SP5m (Tornado)
Skype Mobile on SDA
I found Skype Mobile available for Windows 5.0 on the Skype website:

But the minimum processor is 312Mhz(!) The T-mobile SDA only runs 195Mhz. Is there a hack out there, so that I can install Skype onto my phone? Thanks for any help.

I figured out how to do it. You can tweak the install software from Skype-Mobile, then you must also install a "mouse" (about 45 kbytes). Works OK, I'm guessing that Skype will eventually generate software particularly for Smartphones, rather than just for PDAs.
Here's the link to the instructions:

Complete Instructions On How To Install Skype On The T-Mobile SDA
1. Download Skype for the PPC (www.skype.com). You will need to save the .CAB file to your desktop. Then extract it with winzip.
2. You then need to rename the files as I have below. You don’t do anything with any of the other files that get extracted.
000Boing.002 -> Boing.wav
000Skype.001 -> Skype.exe
SKYPED~1.003 -> SkypeDialer.dll
3. Since the usability of Skype is based on the speed of your processor you will need to over clock the processor. I have tested this program and made phone calls with and without over clocking the SDA. With no over clocking there is a 3 second lag in voice from SDA to PC, and about 20 seconds from SDA to Landline. When I over clock...
