Skype is built into the messaging functions of the phone. Once you register your skype account in the control panel, you'll be able to make skype calls and send messages over skype.

Why? Jesus, you guys act like my 6 year old niece sometimes.

Sooner is better but bug free is more important.

But stic mate, why is it so important? The n900 is the only phone with flash support at the moment. Period. Why does it have to be the first one with support for 10.1? It is not that you cannot live without it now anyway.

Or am I missing something?

For me number one priority is to fix the bugs first. Flash 10.1 is just a gimmick. Nice but not essential.

Depends on how it's done. Flash 10 I think in general is an improvement in efficiency over Flash 9. But more importantly Flash 10 can actually offload work to the GPU so it's not the CPU doing all the work anymore.

So it is going to improve the phone! Great!

Only, it is already "top dog" at the part that will be improved. It is not a part of the phone that it lacks in, so why the hurry?

I agree that Flash is sort of like a step backwards, depending so much on a single company for all the updates and support. It's like Windows in a sense. Everybody started using it and now it's very difficult to not come across it. All the major websites use it and almost all the A/V streaming websites use Flash in some form. The ugly truth is that we need Flash for now and you cannot expect to bring the desktop web experience without it.

Rubbish. I had flash support on my G1 a few months back. The HTC Hero has flash, and the Droid has flash too.

The owners of all devices with flash are all waiting for Flash 10.1 for the GPU acceleration.
