Can I flash my N900 to global firmware using Nokia Ovi Suite?

go into settings and then Voip then creat a new account and choose skype and put your user name and password and wait for it to sign in and then hit status bar (where the green dot) is visible then you will see a tab of availability .
here you can switch to offline and online modes .
try and if still some help , ask :)

Under VOIP settings, skype is not an option. There is Jabber, Gtalk, etc. but no skype. Please help again.

If you have the Indian version on the phone Ovi Suite will just re-flash with the same version.

Do a backup with the backup app to an SD card or copy the backup folder to you PC, download the flasher and both firmware images and flash them both. Run the backup app again to restore the backup you made, your phone will reboot and then ask to restore app, after that you will have everything back as before and you will also be able to enjoy skype.
