i just got my new N900. very nice phone!! i like everything but other than skype. the skype client is built-in by nokia already. if i connect by wi-fi. i can use skype no problem at all. i managed to setup a gprs connection with some help from the forum here, so i can access my account in three.com.au. once when i use gprs connection. i cant use skype because i have to disconnect my wi-fi.

i spoke to my network operator. they told me nothing they can do about it.

my question is, is there anyway that i can change the built-in skype client to access throught gprs network instead of using wi-fi?

thx

Three (at least in the UK) are notorious for making you run things the way that they want. the N900 is designed to use the most sensible route and with WiFi being a much faster route than GPRS then it would make sense for it to use that whilst it is available.

Why is WiFi costing you something when GPRS is not?
