How to Download Skype on an HTC HD2

The Mobile version of Skype allows users to talk over the Internet without using their cellphone minutes.

The HTC Touch HD2 is a Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone released in 2009. The phone features a 4.3-inch touchscreen with multitouch capabilities. Users can download a variety of apps for the device, including Skype, a VoIP (voice-over-Internet-protocol) program that allows users to talk to one another through a wireless or 3G connection. Skype for Windows Mobile is no longer supported by the company but the previously released version of the software still functions when installed. You will need Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync, Microsoft's Windows Mobile sync programs, in order to install the program.

Things You'll Need

• Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync

1. Connect your HD2 to your computer using a USB cable.

2. Open Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync. The device center is for Windows Vista and Windows 7. ActiveSync is for XP or earlier.

4. Run the SkypeMobile.exe file while the device center or ActiveSync is open. Follow the install prompts to install the software on the HD2.

5. Click "Start" on the HD2 and scroll down to select Skype.
