When I got my N800 on Christmas Eve from Amazon, it came with the Skype 3 Month voucher. After activation, I received an e-mail from Skype that my voucher was for one year, a most pleasant surprise. Food for thought, I guess.

I just checked my email and it said one year at the top but, further down (in smaller print), it says 3 months.
I bought mine from Amazon about a month ago, and, same deal. No voucher, even though it has the sticker on the box.
Rather suspiciously, on mine it actually looked as though there was one shiny, legit Nokia seal over another - it looked like it had been opened and then (officially?) resealed. The sticker(s) looked authentic, but there's definitely one under another. Also, the packaging insided (plastic bags and whatnot) struck me as a little opened-looking. Still, I didn't want to send it back over nothing, especially as it took longer than I expected to get it, and I was really excited about it, so I tried it out and it worked fine and still does.
I've had no problems with it, though the Skype voucher was a little disappointing.
Oh well. At least with Grandcentral and Gizmo I have free incoming calls from PSTN to VOIP. Not useful in quite the same way, but still cool (though I have yet to use it much).)
Hey all, i just got my n800 from buy.com today. w/ 3 day shipping for $220!! neway, got the voucher, activated it and used it for a half an hour call. kind of quiet, but otherwise great quality. despite some bad reviews, i would definitely recommend buy.com 2 anyone looking to get a n8x0 for a great price!!
I just checked my email and it said one year at the top but, further down (in smaller print), it says 3 months.
My email said the same thing...a full year. I am very curious to see what will happen at the end of three months...if it ends I will contact skype and show them the email...maybe get the full year...
Sorry to kick this old thread, but my voucher seems to have an invalid character on it (printed as a square). Has anyone seen this before and know how to handle it? Just entering the whole string without the square doesn't work and neither does changing the square for a space when entering or entering the part of the string before the square...
