HTC Dash / S620 / S621 (Excalibur)
The Official HOW TO for SKYPE on Dash
Ready for VOIP for your Dash? Here ya go...
I have posted previoulsy on how to install Skype on the MDA and SDA. I had some issues with installing Skype on the Dash, but I got it to work. I did some reading on the net and people said it was not do able becuase of the new Skype version that was out, and I myself had problems, but it does work.
In my area using Skype, even with Tmobile's Edge and an overclocked processor the call was still choppy. However when using Wifi and the overclocked processor it worked GREAT!
First off download these files.

www.nickieandjustin.com/omapclock.zip
Unzip both Zip Folders to your desktop. Put the folder "Program Files" on your memory card. In the Program Files folder you created on your memory card, cut and paste the file omapclock.exe. The take the files in the Windows folder and move them to the Windows folder of your Dash.
Ok... now you are ready. You will need to turn on your Wifi or have Edge service to continue.
Use the file explorer on your phone to goto the file OMAPCLOCK. This is overclocking your processor on the Dash, some say it's hurtful, but the only bad thing that will happen is the Dash will power cycle it's self if you try to overclock it to much. I use the 276 MHZ setting. Anything over that and it will reboot its self. After you set the processor to that setting you need to click "action" , then "set clock". Then exit out of that program. Every time you want to use Skype, you will need to do this step. It will not stay set after you close Skype. You can set it to stay overclocked, but it will use your battery like crazy!
Ok... now click on skype.exe in the Program Files/Skype folder on your memory card. It is alot easier to alreasy have set up a skpe acount on your PC before you begin. Now you will have to scroll down to the bottom of the terms and conditions page.... It takes forever to get there. There should be an "Accept" button there, but it won;t show up... After you scroll all the way to the bottom, and you see the cursor blinking, press the enter key on the dash. (looks like an arrow under the del key). You will also need to sign in. Make sure you click on save my login info so you don't have to do this everytime. Once again there is no login button. I pressed the space and enter key, and one of those will get it to sign in. Once you are signed in you are good to go.... any questions email me at justinbwill@hotmail.com

Before you can run the OMAPCLOCK you must unlock the registry. You do this by plugging in your phone via usb to you computer and running this program.
If you don't you will get the error "Can't map I/O"

Just unzip it to the desktop then run the exe file.
