Skype for Windows Phone 8 Preview now in the Windows Phone Store | WMPoweruser
We have had reports that a preview version of Skype for Windows Phone 8 is now in the Windows Phone Store.
The app can be found at the same URL as usual is not however without problems, with our tipster telling us that after installing it, Facebook Chat no longer worked, with all contacts being shown as “No one is online”.
We suggest readers wait for the final version.
Can anyone report on battery life when Skype is running? Can we leave Skype running 24/7 on Windows phone 8 with out too much affect on battery life?
I currently have an android phone and planning to get 920 or ativ s. However on android the battery will die in a couple hours if Skype is left running. Being able to leave Skype running would be huge for me. Thanks

When Skype isn't being used, it doesn't run.
Your online presence is handled in the cloud, and only tells your phone when there is an interaction.
That sounds pretty good. So you can sill receive calls and Skype im's while it's not running? Does it work good?
Not sure about IM's, but yes you can receive skype calls when the skype app is not running. The incoming skype call acts just like a regular incoming phone call.
I think it's nifty.
And if I'm not mistaken, this allows people to make skype calls with Windows Phone 8 anywhere in the world, regardless of if you have carrier signal or not or whether you are in a different country, etc. As long as you have wifi connection you can get skype calls.
