Nokia did its part. Skype was bundled with the product and promoted. So your point above was addressed.

What those slamming Nokia over this fail to realize is that there's more to this story than is being mentioned, and I truly thought that as professional adults SOMEone here would have realized what hasn't been said in regards to Skype's responsibility. Unfortunately I can't go into it, and what I want to suggest is mostly speculative on my part-- but surely anyone who's been involved in software and/or consumer device development could figure it out. But maybe I can say it in an oblique way. For one, research Software Bundling Agreements and look at what the bundler typically requires from the application provider-- as well as standard disclaimers of liability. That ought to be enough to get the dialog going in the right direction.
