Plantronics Voyager Legend UC B235-M review

published on by Remo Knops

The Plantronics Voyager Legend UC B235-M is the resulting purchase of my quest for a Bluetooth headset that could work with my Android smartphone(s) and Microsoft Skype (for Business). It is a certified Unified Communications (UC) version of the well known Plantronics Voyager headset.

While I’ve purchased it back in 2018 the COVID-19 outbreak forced me to work from the home office where a good headset for unified communications is essential. In this article I will share my thoughts and practical experiences for this headset and reflect on my purchase.

VOIP: Skype 2.2 for Windows Mobile supports WM 6.1

published on by Remo Knops

At the 31tst of July Skype updated its famous VOIP application for the Windows Mobile platform. While there are two versions available for both the touchscreen and non-touchscreen devices, only the first category is upgraded to support Window Mobile 6.1 (Professional).

Since there are not yet many non-touchscreen devices running Windows Mobile 6.1 available, the upgrade policy can be understood. However I don’t doubt that Skype will also release an upgrade for non-touchscreen devices.

Skype generates revenue through its premium offerings such as making and receiving calls to and from landline and mobile phones, as well as voicemail and call forwarding. Skype, based in Luxembourg, has relationships with a growing network of hardware and software providers and is an eBay company (NASDAQ: EBAY). [http://about.skype.com/]

Skype is extremely useful if you are travelling abroad and want to make free computer-to-computer calls or very cheap calls to landlines or cell phones. It can be used over a WiFi or 3G connection. Besides the support for Windows Mobile 6.1 no huge changes have been implemented. So if you own a HTC Touch Diamond, the HP iPAQ Business Messenger or another WM 6.1 Professional device, go and download Skype v2.2.0.45 here !
