Government of India has some VOIP Restrictions and Skype Video calling is Banned under that (Officially) people use it though unofficially...But any Product sold with the government's permission will not have Skype in it.

Perhaps due to the crypto?

Augustya,

Everything fine. No issues at all. Since I bought it recently, I started with Global version. So I don't know any other performance to benchmark.
However, I used the following things to improve the battery and got really good performance.
1) I do have the Daul/2G/3G selected app installed. I always keep in 2G mode. I will switch to 3G only when I need. This really saves the battery.
2) I have the app that disables wireless LAN. I keep this disabled.
3) In internet connection setting I kept the setting never autoconnect(or something similar) setting and I do keep it disconnected from internet, even in 2G(GPRS).
4) I don't have any junk program like weather etc running all the time !!

These things really improved the battery life.

regards
Manoj

You Can FLASH WITH Global Version , So Dont Be Afraid and Go Ahead !!!

Re: Problem with N900 Bought in India !
 

Quite honestly, they have the India firmware files in the FW repository...

But yes, the Indian Governments put in restrictions on VOIP, and even actively blockout many betamax voip providers, since this is considered a security issue.

I live in the UK, but when I do go back, i just VPN into my server in the UK, or a paid server (only £3 a month) and login to my VOIP services.

But then again, their regulations keep changing, allowing certain voip providers to get a license. So, most of the voip services there are on and off.

Go ahead, the nokia staff cannot void any warranty and stuff like that if you flash it with the global firmware

Re: Problem with N900 Bought in India !
 

I visited Nokia Service Center & they said that they will not cover the mobile under warranty if it is not the Indian firmware..

However, they seem to have indirectly indicate a loophole.. You can now have the Global firmware and reflash it to Indian firmware before taking it to the service center..

Hope that helps.. Enjoy your N900..

Well the reason why skype is banned in india is....they found some anti social elements using that to avoid getting caught .... when india asked skype to give them the key to decode skype calls for them to keep a check on such calls they refused...in return indian govt gave an order to ban skype.

Re: Problem with N900 Bought in India !
 

wow, didn't know this was the situation with Skype in India.....xplains a lot why friends back there cannot get in touch with me through Skype....oh well I won't need to use skype when I go India.
