Microsoft has quietly updated the Windows Phone version of Skype to version 1.3. Unfortunately, the official changelog only mentions that the update brings some bug fixes and probably a few improvements.

Although the list of bug fixes has yet to be detailed, it appears that not all problems have been fixed with this software update.

According to several reports, users who have updated to the latest version of Skype claim the application does not work in background and that they cannot take calls.

In addition, the conversations typing and sending are laggy. Last but not least, the application still crashes and takes a long time to load.

Skype 1.3 is now available as a free download via Marketplace and it should be fully compatible with all devices running Windows Phone 7.5 and up.
