I have I have a N800 with RX-44_2008SE_1.2007.42-18_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin and Skype works now (shouldn't it have video?)

Same problem here.
IMAP work with my university's IMAP server, but not with the gmail one.
Only headers.
Didn't find a workaround yet...

No, you have to flash fanoush's initfs_flash OS2008 version, but that's nothing impossible

Thanks Quim for the info. Your efforts to run this release smoothly for users and developers alike in spite of our relentless searching and hacking have been admirable. I for one, am grateful that the new firmware won't punish me for my eagerness

Moreover, Eero Tamminen just stated on the mailing list that:

This is very tempting, but I would need Skype and FM radio to be available before I upgrade.

What I don't like so far is that the two devices, are already starting to be different software-wise.
Skype won't install on the N800 with OS2008 and, from what I read in the Eero's statement, it has more bug fixes than Os2008 on the N810:

The N810 one is the 42-18, while the N800 one is 44-4.

I think it's just because we are in the early phases of the born of the OS2008.
And the two versions will be in more sync as the N810 will be definitely available worldwide.

Let's see.

From this posting by fanoush, it doesn't look like anything has changed in this regard:

Oops. Thanks hns; you are right. I did not check my WLAN. It's not working.
