A Skype update to version [10017/1.7.62.48.5] has just become available, but unfortunately I did not see any improvement with regard to this bug.

One test call lasted almost two minutes but others died in less time. Same symptoms... calls end abruptly with a Skype crash on the tablet. No error messages.

Re: Skype available
 

I have a n800 and the 0s2008. I installed Skype today, using the link with the Sykpe icon. I got a 4 mb download and it installed fine.
The version I have is [10017/1.7.62.48.5] I made a skype to skype call and it had a bad audio quality and lost connection after a few seconds. I tried to make a skype to land / cell line call ( using the 3 mos. free unlimited to USA or Canada voucher card that came in the Nokia N800 box) ... Each time I made a call, I either got a " misc. error " or the program crashed. It did this each time the recipient answered the phone or when the call went to voice mail.

I'm heading to Mexico for Xmas and Newyears and thought this would be a great way to call home .... :(

I hope it's solved by then. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. :)
Other than this problem, I love this device !!!

Welcome raulito. I'm glad you found the right thread to confirm your experiences and add your own. We're ALL hoping a fix is coming soon.

If you desperately need Skype voice, it worked under OS2007 if you don't mind downgrading.

Re: Skype available
 

Well, you still have options. If you're trying to reach US phones you can check out the Gizmo Project or get an accound with a SIP based VOIP provider.

If you just wan't to do voice to PCs remotely then you can add Gtalk and Jabber to the options.

Re: Skype available
 

I use Lingo for VOIP, it comes with a modem, etc etc... is there a way to use my account to make calls from my n800 using some kind of app?

Re: Skype available
 

I hate to ask a question that I'm sure that's been asked before, but if I were to 'down-grade'...at least until the Skype has been tweeked; which os2007 would be the one I should downgrade too? I think I remember seeing two of them. Also, since I didn't play with the tablet with the original firmware installed...(second version I believe).. What would I be 'giving-up' by taking the system back down a notch, or two?

Thanks in advance for your input... And for responding to my original comment so quickly and graciously.

Re: Skype available
 

If you were to downgrade, the latest OS2007 is "RX-34_2007SE_4.2007.38-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin".

You'd be giving up a bit of overall speed, and going to the Opera web browser instead of the MicroB one. It will be very usable, but you'll probably want to upgrade again after Skype is fixed. Unfortunately you lose all your application installs going each way. I suggest making a backup of what you have now, so that you can restore from backup when you return to using OS2008 again.

Re: Skype available
 

It's certainly possible, but you would have to find out for sure from Lingo. OS2008 has support built in for SIP based accounts, which most VOIP providers use. The question is really whether they allow it and if they will give you your SIP login info.
