which might still take some time :,(

already made the move to SIP:-
https://www.ippi.com/

As an aside, battery seems to last quite a bit longer.
Who knows what the skype client is doing even when idle...
Beware micros&&t...

Interesting thread. I'm surprise no one has mention https://jitsi.org/.

plus:
- work on windows, linux and macs
- can do it all in one cliet (voip, dktp sharing, im (with multi serv's),
- has settings for video quality control amoung other advance settings
- is completely open source
- I was pleased with the quality (more or less )
- you can set up a free contact to video/call/im from.
- you can set up a home serer to do all this through if you want complete control
- easy to set up (using jitsi xmpp service)
- I'm sure a few more I'm forgetting

Minus:
- uses Java as it's main platform.
- Interface design is okay feels a little dated.
- jitsi provide contact can't be reach by regular phones.
- no maemo native version.
- a few others I may be forgetting

Overall, closest thing to a skype replacement I've seen so far. Have a look I curious as to what you guys think.

I use Jitsi myself (under Ubuntu).
It was a cinch to set up for my IPPI account. Jitsi already has 'Select Network' option for ippi on the Add Network' configuration dialog...

Jitsi works great, is open source and it's free.
I would (and do) recommend it to everyone....

Regarding:-
"- no maemo native version."
You don't need another client for SIP under maemo as 'vanilla' maemo
can handle SIP..

Skype on Nokia n810 still working.
Another question is: for how long?

That is a good question...
hehe our old beasties may fly under the radar for a bit...
but M$ is nothing but thorough when it decides on doing something...
Look at how efficiently they got rid of all those employees in "restructuring"...cutting the "chaff" so to speak....so if they have no compunction or are that down-right scared and feel the need to lop off so many heads to save coin....
(Dreadful analogy time) skype on the n810 lasting has about the same life expectancy as....
hmmm..
an elephant hiding in plain sight as a player at a poachers saturday-nite poker game .

Our good fortune will probably not last long.

As an aside to this, an added benefit of me moving to SIP (ippi) I have deactivated skype on my N900 and this has dramatically improved my battery life. Used to have to recharge each day. Now lasting two to three days.
Makes me wonder exactly what skype was doing when it was 'idle'...
