Skype application
 

Hi guys

I need to use Skype from Nokia N900.. can anyone tell me how can i use it..

Does it have a SKYPE app like in the PC... ?

Re: Skype application
 

The N900 has Skype built-in. Click Status menu - Availability - Accounts- New to setup.

Re: Skype application
 

Or just sign in with your normal account if you have one.
Video, Voice and Chat all work.

Re: Skype application
 

Matters on where you're located. If you're in a country that didn't include the Skype app - India for instance - you'd be better to reflash with the international firmware of the Maemo 5 OS.

ooh.. gerbick u are correct.. there is no skype integration in mine.. & i am from India .. :(

Re: Skype application
 

why while doing video call and start chatting or even swap from video call to anything the cam close and have to stay in video call window or tap and enable cam so that it works again??any help so that i can be able to chat while doing video call???

Re: Skype application
 

i am from india and there was no sktpe on my n900
but i have now.without reflashing n900
don't reflash, you can get skype easily from ovi store!!!!!!

Re: Skype application
 

any idea???

Re: Skype application
 

skype is available in ovi for indians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Skype application
 

Yes it is :) !..i installed it on my friends N900..while i flashed mine to international firmware!

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

Re: Skype application
 

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?
