Afgelopen dinsdag heeft Skype een nieuwe versie van zijn VoIP-client voor Windows Phone uitgebracht. Downloaden kan via de Windows Phone Marketplace. Nieuw in deze release is dat contacten die in de reguliere lijst met contactpersonen van de telefoon staan nu in Skype verschijnen, kan het telefoonnummer nu worden aangepast voordat het gebeld wordt en zijn er enkele problemen verholpen. Het volledige changelog van deze release is hieronder te vinden.
