For more information, visit the Skype for Android FAQ page: http://goo.gl/vV9FD.
Some notes:
Due to Android restrictions, devices running Android 2.2 will only be able to use the rear-facing camera. Devices with Android 2.3 or higher will be able to use both front and rear-facing cameras.
If you're using Android 2.2 (Froyo) or greater on a device not listed below, you should still be able to enable video calling within Skype’s settings. Please note that the video call quality may not be as good as on the supported devices below. Your phone will not be able to video call if this setting is unavailable.
* Operator data charges may apply. We recommend using an unlimited data plan or WiFi connection.

You need Android v2.2 to run Skype on a Samsung Galaxy S

theos0o v17
Changelog:
~ Based on new Skype build 2.9.0.315
Changes compared to original Skype:
• Exit button (kills app & service)
• Minor fixes here and there (vibration, chat, video-calls)
• Speaker toggle while in call (just press your phone's MENU button)
• Bluetooth audio toggle while in call (just press your phone's MENU button), uses *my* code for BT Audio, so you can try it for mono headsets or headsets that don't work with Skype's original BT support
• Camera LED/flash support while in video-call (just press your phone's MENU button)
• Advanced Settings:
→ Sign-in status picker, allows you to pick your desired status (availability), which will be applied automatically just after logging-in.
→ Keep screen alive, disables proximity sensor for calls
→ Force-enable video-calling, for phones that can't get video-calling enabled.
*Video-calling needs compatible CPU (ARMv7). If your phone's CPU is not compatible, Skype will keep crashing/looping at login!*
→ Force enable camera rotation, will attempt to enable camera rotate option (under the camera selection popup)
→ Avoid setFPS, for some users that get black image in video-calls
→ Use valid preview surface, for some users that get black image in video-calls (a bit buggy at the moment, but better than nothing )
→ Prefer full-screen incoming video, won't allow your back camera image to take the whole screen leaving the incoming image minimized
→ Force notification LED/BLN, for users that "Pulse notification light" option (in Skype original settings) doesn't actually enable notification LEDs or BLN!
→ Advanced camera settings (resolution/focus/scene/white balance/color effect)
→ Ringtone picker!
→ Notification sound picker!
→ Disable vibration entirely
→ Disable sign-in/out vibration and/or sounds
→ Notifications' vibration pattern picker!
→ Verbose logging, use it for debugging, when capturing logs
