Thanks for the feedback
was able to flash it to the global version using maemo flasher and on XP.. windows 7 does not work.

Skype works like a charm though on video call i see my own image rather than the peron i am calling, im told this is because the other person needs skype 4.2

Having problems with Gtalk.. i can only use the instant messenger. the calling and video options dont even appear, same for all my contacts.

Any idea if certain settings need to be changed etc

cheers
