I see from Video Center that Textra has a travel special editiion discussing what she's taking with her on her vacation. Instead of a laptop she's bringing an N800.

Yes she said she was going to use it to make skype video calls, oh boy she is in for a big Nokia let down.

heavyt... why is that?
I am not a fan of skype... Actually after hearing her talk about skype I tried it on my N800 and I couldn't even dial local numbers even though I have 10pounds credit on my skype account. I have no idea why.
I prefer gizmo project, even though the call quality is suspect.

@thomasdawes: Although Skype on the N800 works fine, it doesn't have support for _video_ calls.. that's the letdown if she really wanted to do that. (As for myself I'm not too keen on showing my mug to those I talk to, if you've spent years on a non-video phone it's difficult to suddenly start to think of appearances too! )

I don't know why Nokia has renege on their implied promise for video communication via internet, your guess is as good as minds!

If you are having problems with your skype you may want to get in contact with them about your account (it worked for me here in US).
