We have released a few days ago an updated beta version of Skype for your mobile. After the release of Skype for your mobile beta 1 we have worked extensively on widening the supported phone range and adding calling support to new countries. Beta 2 supports calls also in Australia and New Zealand also we have added support for 30 new devices. Read more on new features.
We have improved the download process, so now you just need to go to the Skype for your mobile page and tell us your mobile phone number and we will send you a download link straight to your phone.
There's more to add to new features introduced with this beta update. We have also worked extensively on ironing out all the issues found by our users during the beta one.
I'd recommend everyone to upgrade to the new beta version, but to still keep in mind that this product is still in beta state which means that it's still not fully ready for prime time usage, but if you are not afraid of possible hiccups then go ahead.
The newly released build has incorporated following changes and fixes in comparison with beta 1:
 *  feature: Added support for many new devices
 *  feature: Added account creation functionality
 *  feature: Some newer Sony Ericsson p - Skype 4.0 beta 2 for Windows hotfixOctober 15

Two weeks ago we released Skype 4.0 Beta 2 for Windows. Now I'm pleased to say that we have improved it a bit. We have taken some time to iron out the bugs which you have been reporting to us over that time.
Get the new beta build with fixes. Bear in mind that Skype 4.0 for Windows is still a beta version which means that it might catch a cold sometimes.
If it behaves a bit oddly then please let us know about it by reporting issues in our public issue tracker Jira or discussing things on our forums. In case you feel you would just drop a word to us about in general then we would be more than happy to read it through our survey.
List of changes for 4.0.0.168 is:
 * change: Extras Manager updated to version 2.0.0.63
 * bugfix: "List index out of bounds" error was displayed on call phones dialogue when pressing enter without entering anything
 * bugfix: At times, video privacy message was not shown
 * bugfix: Call privacy options for Online Numbers were sometimes lost

I thought that I should write here about one issue in Skype 3.8 and 4.0 Beta for Windows which might affect some of you.
Sometimes, people who are using Skype 3.8 or 4.0 beta versions on computers running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 find that Skype unexpectedly closes without giving any error message.
This error is mostly experienced while logging in to Skype or creating new Skype user accounts. At this point of time we do not have a fix for this problem, but we are working hard on finding a solution.
A simple workaround for this problem is to update your copy of Microsoft Windows XP to Service Pack 2 or 3. You can update your computer via Windows Update or download the service pack separately.
We always suggest using a fully updated computer
