Yes you are right. However since fring, a third party skype solution, is currently offering Skype Video Calls for all Symbian devices I see no reason why this option cannot come to the N900 plus in the N900 Skype is directly involved with the development.

I am not sure if fring is using the H264 or other protocol but they did manage to do it.
