Skype? - Page 2 - maemo.org

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!

Thanks Engemex, sounds like my re-flash plans for the weekend is still a-go then.

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??

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.

That was part of the email they sent to me. Hopefully Skype will find it's place on my N810 once more.
