Wait...are you telling me that if I re-flash my N810...I will NOT be able to get Skype back?

That was indeed one of the reasons I got the N810 in the first place.

I emailed Skype as well and I'd recommend for anyone interested in getting this back up on their site again to do the same (or to provde us with the .deb files).

Does anyone in this community have them?

Skype is still available. I have two Operating systems on my Nokia one on the device memory and one on the internal memory card. I never use the OS on the device memory it is a fresh install. I just booted it up and then selected Skype from the "My Selection" Menu. Skype was then automatically installed via the application manager! So time to stop panicking!

I think you can use fring with the skype account.

whew! Time to stop panicking. Just as a backup plan, I better get crackin' by doing my fresh install as soon as possible with everything I want on it, then mirror the install with console-tools. This is possible, right??

I reflashed yesterday and skype works fine for me.

I reflashed this morning, no probs with loading Skype back.

Strange. I have yet to be able to install it on my N810. It still refuses to download (using the repository or the default link). Hopefully It will work soon.
