Problems with Skype on N800 with OS2008
 
Hi, I have just purchased a Nokia N800 with OS2008. When I call someone on Skype or receive a call it stays conected no more than a minute or less and then the program shuts down. I have a very good conection at home and the office. Same results both place. Can someone help before I throw it out the window. I tried updating skype and I get "incompatible program". Then I downgraded to OS2007 and then the display stays lit, no dimming.Thanks

Skype isn't working well for anyone running os2008, as far as I know. What happens to you is exactly what happens to me. Hopefully it will be corrected soon.

Unfortunately this is one HUGE reason to stay on OS2007 if Skype is one of your primary uses for the tablet. Skype does not work thus far on OS2008 on N800, there is a bug filed at maemo bugzilla and I'm sure the developers are aware of the issue. Gizmo and the SIP client work pretty well however.

I've downloaded it again and it works,even though it is not the version for the n800 is the one for n810,for some reason you can't download the latest version... although skype has it officially on its web page...

Are we saying that downloading the latest version from the skype web site for the NIT's solves the problem of video calls closing?

Instructions are clear on how to install via "download now" option http://skype.com/download/skype/nokia/downloading/

Cannot try it at the moment, not at home over Christmas.

Skype on N800 works with OS2007 or 2008 until skype updates
 
Skype used to work good for me. When skype updated 2007 it quit. OS2008 same story.

Skype works flawlessly for me on an N800 running OS2008.
