Anyways, I too have migrated from the n900 to the n9. Absolutely love it, but I was wondering, back on the n900, if you had Skype setup on the phone, it gave you the option to call any number in your contacts via Skype. It seems on the N9, only contacts you have added on Skype will show up as callable via Skype... as opposed to any number you have in your contacts. Am I missing something in the setup, or is this not possible via the N9?

Thanks
Hmm, I have a skype (and a sip) account, and contacts with a phone number are callable via skype. The contact card shows a first button for "normal" calling/texting, and then I have a section called "Services" which has two buttons, one for calling via skype and one via sip. I'm not running "1.0" but the update that you'll receive later this year, however I'm pretty sure it was also like that in 1.0. Maybe someone can confirm? Maybe also check in the setting of your skype account (on the N9, in the "Accounts" app) if there's a knob there to activate that.

Many of the people behind the N9 are open source hackers, so community is our element :-) We are happy to act on feedback as far as our internal restrictions allow.
