Skype eats batery like a mad man. The only reason I would want to use this is because 70% of the market is dominated by Android devices, and if whatsapp would work on the n900 it would make it even closer to a perfect device capable of outlasting android in any way.

As for the devs in this topic. Could you keep us 'noobs' updated with what is actually working and what needs testing? Since I doubt half of the community knows what you guys are talking about. Anyway keep up the good work!
