Reads like an ad... little substance...

Do you honestly think Nokia's going make an entire SwipeUX-like interface for WP?
Unlikely to happen, for a bunch for boring reasons that have already been outlined.

You do realise we're at 7.5 & Skype video chat is not supported for this release.
There is an API dev's can take advtange of so various handset vendors can have support.
But it's not a feature natively built into the OS.
It probably will be by the time WP comes round in approx. 9mth.
Even non-video Skype is not yet "deeply integrated"...

It is not about my personal opinion about the N9, it is about how to show the N9 off and if you could recommend it to the masses.

We all know the N900 is too nice to be truly existing but even so hard to recommend to your average colleague or neighbour even if an N900 demo given by capable hands could blow them away.

They would be back at you complaining about missed call or an iPhone user looking down on the resistive screen.

N9 might be better to recommend but if its downloading apps and the cool looks they are after? mmm

Thanks for the insight in Skype.

I take the liberty to use marketing terms freely such as Skype integration http://about.skype.com/2009/02/skype...er_to_int.html
