Re: Skype application
 

Well I am not able to download skype from OVI store either, getting "...not available in you country" error. I am from USA and ovi store is apparently detects IP (thus country).
Would reflash void the warrantee btw?
I feel robbed as one of the factor for me getting n900 was to be able to use skype.

Re: Skype application
 

marginally on the topic, does anyone know how to send sms through skype-out on the n900?...

my case: i'm in frequent contact with people in moscow, and sending the ocasional sms to a russian beeline number with my operator in spain costs about 0.90 EUR, while with skype-out it roughly costs 0,07 EUR... i've used this feature from PC skype for years, but i just haven't found a way to do it through my n900...

Re: Skype application
 

asuming that you have indian mobile and you are in usa , that is why you could not dowload skype from ovi.

as far as warranty is concern i have no idea!!! hy but cares ...flash your mobile with us firmware and if something goes wrong or you need wanrrnaty just flash back to indian firmware again!

Re: Skype application
 

Indian government actually banned skype on phone devices & so that is why Skype was not available in N900 In the Indian version :(

but as far 28/2/2011 Indian users can download and install skype from ovi store & it works fine .. :D

AFAIK.....the Skype version on OVI Store (for India) does not support Video Chat/Call.....can anybody confirm that...????

Re: Skype application
 

i am indian and i use skype video call and it works fine here(i video to call only pc i do not know about mo. to mo. video call) and yes my n900 is indian too

Re: Skype application
 

Well, besides having good friends from India, I have no relation to it whatsoever, so I can't imagine how would I end up with Indian firmware version (if that's indeed the case). Phone was purchased from US Amazon (sold BY Amazon, not storefront seller) and shipped to US address (mine).
I don't even get Skype in search results on Ovi website using n900. I do see however corresponding link in google search, but once clicked, the "..not available in your country" message is displayed on the actual site.

Actually, now that I checked, I get the same (not available) message if I use my laptop. So, it seems that there are some "issues" with US.

Any US based n900 skype users around? Any issues?

P.S. @juanenrique, have you tried to just create sms message first and then "pick" skype recipient from your contacts?
